NightHawk AX2700/CAX30
Nighthawk ax2700/cax30 firmware 1.4.10.8 I'm on Xfinity cable with their More Speed Plan (I think) Seems that every 2 weeks I need to power off/power on the unit to get back my speeds. As an ex...
Keep us posted.

I still don't see anything called WMM under the advance wireless setup
I've changed the channels but I get a message on the 5Gmhz that says To get best wireless performance Netgear recommends set gateway to a high channel between 149-161. I proceded to 48.
It will take a while to see if things change.
Thanks for the help.

So try this, Disable WPA security on the modem temporarily. Connect 1 device up to the CAX while the wifi is in the open. See if it will connect and gain internet services. Re-enable WPA2 and AES after testing.

Let me see if I've got the right info.
NO Ethernet connections ALL wireless.
Wireless Setup
Enaable AX
2.4Ghz
Enable SSID Broadcast
Enable 20/40 Mhz Coexistence
Channel Auto: Current 8< Try channel 1, 6 or 11.
Security: WPA-2 Personal [AES]
5.0Ghz
Enablr SSID Broadcast
Channel 153
Current 147+153(P)+157+161< Try channel 48.
Security WPA-2 Personal (AES)
Maybe 1 neighbor with a WiFi
SMART is NOT enable and I don't know WMM (sorry) < Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Seems to me as a novice, it's like resetting the connection. I don't know if Xfinity is throttleing me. According to their website, I'm not close to data limit, if there is one.
THANKS for the help, I appreciate it.

Today mine reset its settings by itself totally out of the blue, When I checked my settings the channel was set to 8, I use 11, the speed was set to 2.4 54mbs I set to 860 ... it's the oddest thing, When I try to change the settings back it keep resetting everything to being off (wifi) I have to change everything again and the changes I make to the settings are taking FOREVER to update... 3-4 minutes at a time. Something weird is defintely going on. Then, like an idiot... I saw "traffic meter" on the app, normally not aviable to me so I hit it ... and now I am completely locked out. The web genies just says "traffic meter goal met) or something and that's it.. that's all i can see and do no matter what, got to the admin, security, internet set up tabs... all just show the same message. So I try the worst app ever made nighthawk and of course :We can't find your router" oh wow what a shock... then I see oh theres an update for the app lets try that .... and Nope same thing... let me guess you have Comcast? They always seem to have a hand in everything... i cant stand them. If they spent half as much time on customer service as they do and creating little rules to micro manage your internet even when using a 3rd party device they'd be the greatest company on earth.
Guess I've got no choice but to nuke everything and start over AGAIN .... seems like a once a month thing these days and my CAX30 has been dialed in and ran great for almost a solid month ... a new record. Never having to reset ... never having to do anything ... oh well it was a nice run and better than Xfintiy's X7 could ever do
