C6300 2.4GHz wifi radio stops working and requires reboot
My 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz Wireless networks will intermittently stop broadcasting. I also notice than the channel (which is NOT set to auto on either) says Current : 0 for BOTH 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. It se...
Hello - I have just had two occurrences of this same situation, i.e., both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi stopped broadcasting (auto-channel setting went to 0) and I have to power-cycle the C6300 router-modem to restore wifi. In both cases I had just connected a Dell Inspiron 570 Win7 tower via a Belkin N150 USB wifi adaptor. After connecting the Dell PC via Belkin USB wifi, within a few minutes the Netgear router-modem wifi ceases to broadcast and the 2.4G and 5G channels go to zero. I have been using the C6300 modem-router since March 1st and have been connecting two Iphones, one Ipad and one Roku device to both the 2.4G and 5G wifi channels without issue until I tried connecting the Dell PC via Belkin USB wifi adaptor, which results in the wifi channels changing to zero (twice now).

Hello Kurt
Do you have the latest drivers for your USB adapter?
