C7000v2 lost range

We've had a Netgear AC1900 WiFi cable modem router, Model C7000v2 for about a year and have Xfinity as our internet provider.  Yesterday all of our connected devices had to resign in with the router password (computers, phone, Kindles, etc.) Up to this time we've had excellent coverage in our home but now the coverage is much weaker throughout the home.  There wasn't a power outage so it was just the roujter that rebooted.  Any ideas what happened?

  • Maybe a power outage caused a reboot/reset? 

    Have you tried changing the wireless channels for the 2.4ghz/5ghz? 

    What speeds are you getting? (for wired, 2.4ghz, and 5ghz)

      We figured it out.  Not sure why the router rebooted by itself since there was no other power outage.  Thanks for the help.
