C6300 Wireless Network shows up for a few seconds, then disappears when connected

Question

Netgear C6300&nbsp;Ethernet connection works fine&nbsp;Wireless 2.4/5GHz are both transmitting (LEDs solid green). When I reboot/reset, the SSID networks will both show up initially. When my computer connects to it, it says "Connected, not secured", then drops. Both 2.4/5GHz networks no longer show on the WiFi list.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have tried rebooting, resetting to factory defaults, setting specific channels.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am using my phone and computer to verify. The 2.4/5GHz networks disappear after a few seconds&nbsp;Has anyone experienced this and can comment? The router worked fine for 2 months (although suffered the intermittent drops for 15 seconds). Today it started giving me these issues when I bought a new Win 10 laptop and tried to connect. Now the router does not work for phone or laptops. I am 90% sure it is the router&nbsp;

Hello jtrading

&nbsp;

I would suggest contacting support if the modem is still under warranty.

I have the exact same issue. The router has worked fine for one year connected to various Apple products, a smart TV, a PS3 and a Dell PC running Windows 10 with a Dell wireless card.&nbsp; Tried to connect a new Lenovo PC running Windows 10 with a Qualcomm wireless card and my networks disappear.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the moderators suggestion to contact support doesn't help me because I don't want to pay for support.

Hello finest14

&nbsp;

Does the networks disappear for all devices or just the one?

Just the one. &nbsp;PC with a Qualcom wireless adaptor. &nbsp;Our Apple devices, smart TV, PS3 and Dell PC all work. &nbsp;Took the other PC back to the store and exchanged it for a different brand and it works fine. &nbsp;Not sure what the conflict was between the Netgear and Qualcom was.
