C7000v2

Been having issues since I purchased the modem router combo. Constantly losing connection with multiple devices (tv, cellphone, smart lights, etc) issues is normally resolved by rebooting but this is becoming a pain in the behind when I’m laying down at night and have to go to the garage to reboot because my tv has no connection.

I’ve attached my event log. I have no idea what I’m reading on there. Thank you for the help!

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

     

    What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

      Turn off the extenders and most of your devices if possible, just ones that are not really needed at the moment. 

       

      What is the distance between the modem and these extenders?
