NETGEAR CAX80 AX6000 drops Chromecast, Google Home, printer connections
Installed the CAX80 on our Xfinity network, a little over a week, ago. Soon noticed that my 5 Chromecast, Google Home, and hp printer connections were arbitrarily dropped at the same time. Rebooting reconnected all of them, but for no predictable period of time. Could be a half hour, might be a half day. Long story, short, I unchecked the "Enable 20-40 MHz coexistence", and it immediately fixed the problem. Not sure why. It was sheer trial and error. Did the job, with no apparent negative side effects.
Glad it works better for you. Thanks for letting us know.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
