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.
Wifi 2.4 Channel - Set to Auto
Wifi 5g Channel 153 (see below screen shot)

have you tried the lower 5ghz band channels?
