C6300 wifi drops but ethernet works

C6300 over a year old loses wifi but ethernet ports seem to work. If I reset router/modem the wifi will work with multiple devices then after approximately 10 mins or less it's gone yet anything plugged into the ethernet works fine. HELP!!!!

    What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

     

    Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
