No drops of wifi and my doorbell camera connects with no problem. The reach is fine. There is definitely an issue with the C6300 model. Sorry you missed your window of return!

Same experience here. I tried all the channels and the wifi still dropped. Unfortunately, I got busy and missed the return window for mine by one day. I suppose I could try to sell it online, but whoever buys it will probably want to return it so I guess I'm screwed. No more Netgear products for me.
