Nighthawk CA30x Gaming Issue

When I playing games after 25-30 minutes my game randomly disconnects from the Wi-Fi -5g band.
 

Playing on the other computer hardwired in I do not drop connection at all.

Any suggestions - or what information is needed?

I own - Netgear Nighthawk AX6 Wi-Fi 6 IEEE 802.11ax Cable Modem/Wireless Router CAX30S100NAS

 

Updated Firmwire CAX30-V1.4.11.2

Windows 10

    What channel are you using for 5ghz? 

    Avoid the dfs channels as if they detect a dfs broadcast, they have to switch off. It could be causing the drops.

        have you tried the lower 5ghz band channels?
