One WiFi network will go down but other will not and will constantly switch
Hi,
I am having an issue with my router. Usually occurs with my iPhone/iPad.
When I am connected to my 2.4ghz network, at some random point, the internet will go down. When I connect to the 5ghz, it will work fine. Then, the 5ghz will randomly go down, and when I switch back to the 2.4ghz, the 2.4ghz will be working fine. Its just a constant process of having to switch between my two networks back and forth.
This is an ongoing issue that occurs daily. I called Netgear customer support who wanted to charge me $140 to try and diagnose it over the phone (since I was outside 90 day phone warranty), but still within the one year purchase warranty.

Is this only happening when those devices are on those networks or any device connected it will crash?
