Nighthawk C7000 slow speed requiring reboot every day

Question

Router works great after a power cycle. Download speeds are about 50 Mbps in farthest room from router and over 100 Mbps in same room as router. However, when I wake up in the morning, the speeds are about 4 Mbps in farthest room and 20-30 in same room. If I power cycle the router (disconnect power cord) and let the router reboot, the speeds recover. Is there a cache or something that gets cleared when I do a power cycle? How can I avoid having to reboot each morning to recover my download speeds?

which band are you using? is it 2G or 5G?

Actually, we use both. &nbsp;I used the Netgear Analysis app and it said the channel I was using was the best one to use.

what client do you have on your laptop?&nbsp;

Slow speeds on all devices: 2 desktops, 2 laptops, an Ipad, and cell phones. &nbsp;After power cycle of router, speeds greatly increase on all devices on 2.4G and 5G.
