C6300 Frequent Disconnections with Comcast
I've been having a similar (but still different) issue as this thread. However, I do not have an additional AP, and my issue occurs over ethernet as well. To save you reading a different thread, ...
I had this issue as well, except I have the R6900 model. The problem seemed limited to the wired ethernet connection. Netgear support thought it was a hardware problem and suggested I return my router (since it was new). I purchased a replacement, but encountered the same problem.
I did some research and found a solution that may work for some users.
On Windows 7, in the Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center
Select Change adapter settings (on the left)
Right-click on "Local Area Connection" and select Properties
Select Configure...
In the Property box, scroll down to "Speed and Duplex"
In the Value box, select either "100 Mbps Half Duplex" or "100 Mbps Full Duplex".
Half Duplex seems to have resolved the problem for me (it's been a week). This most likely disables gigabit speeds for file sharing from this PC, but that is not a problem for me. I know it would be for some users. I just wanted to throw this out there as an option.
Thanks.
