I'll try lowering the transmit power on my 5Ghz network, but I'll just keep the 2.4Ghz radio completely off since we never used that band to begin with. Do you think changing channel 161 on my 5Ghz band to a lower number would improve the disconnection issues at all? I used to have it set to 48 before Netgear suggested 161, but the issue still persists and I'm hesitant to try going back due to channel interference in my apartment building.

Once the power is lowered on the 5Ghz radio you can use any channel on 5Ghz.

Thanks for all the assistance. I'm tech savvy and consider my knowledge of networking to be above average, but the issues with the CAX30 have me pretty stumped. I've had 2 of them and both have been plagued with issues in one form or another. A point has to come when Netgear admits the device has either firmware or hardware issues. It's been a frustrating experience to say the least.
Anyway.. take care and again, I appreciate your help!
