C7800 Wifi Random Disconnection
This modem/router is very fustrating. The internet signal works with Cat5 hard wire connection, but the Wifi keeps dropping out.
The 5G and 2.4G signal lights both show that they are on and working.
Any tips on what I can do to get a reliable wifi signal?

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?- JHTXAspirant
My 5G is set to channel 161.
Looking at neighbors wifi I see channels: 1, 6, 11, 48, 157
There's a quite a few neighbors on 1,6, 11.
