Cax80 losing wifi connection multiple times per day

my cax80 seems to lose wifi with all my device multiple times a day. i don't seem to lose internet just lose wifi long enough for my wifi devices to disconnect and have to reconnect. i haven't moved the anything, added anything, all the same devices only difference is i reinstalled the latest firmware to fix another issue.

 

i have movies saved on my tv that i stream to my tv via wifi and depending on the day could lose connection 2 times within an hour. i know when its going to happen because i have a wifi light switch and it blinks green every time it loses wifi connection. 

 

happens on either 2.4ghz or 5ghz band. i dont think my isp is to blame but i dont know i know it seems to happening more and more.

hopefully someone can chime in solution thanks

    Do all devices have issues at the same time? or is it one/two devices at a time? 

    Have you tried changing the wifi channel you're on?

      all devices at once. i dont think ive had a problem since making this thread. so i still dont know if it was a netgear issue or my ISP issue. i saw a lot of others having less problems overnight as well. which is very strange. ill be back if problems persist
