How is the wifi settings on the modem configured? Use a wired PC and web browser to connect to the modems web page.
How is the SSID name configured? Single word name is recommended. No special characters.
Basic Wifi settings should work.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or 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?
Is Smart Connect enabled on the modem?
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch.
