Wifi problem
I’ve had this router for about a year now. About 2 weeks ago my wifi was bad so i went to un plug it for about 10 seconds. When it turned back on it didn’t connect me right away which was strange. I went to connect to it and it prompted me to enter a password for admin and security info. I entered new info like it told me to and went on with my morning. I turned on my Xbox Console and noticed my wifi was the worse it’s ever been. I left for vacation that night and returned last week. It’s been very bad this past week. I need help please

Your footer says you have the C6900. You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.) Your device is a Cable Modem/Router.
You might get better replies, and find other answers, over in the appropriate section:
Cable Modems & RoutersThere is support for the C6900, including a manual, at the end of this link:

Try powering OFF the modem for 30 seconds then back on.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try powering OFF the modem for 30 seconds then back on.
