Nighthawk and cable TV
I recently installed a Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System. It has improved WiFi throughtout our home, however, the remote for our Spectrum cable box barely works. It is sluggish if it works at all. This started the day the Nighthawk was installed. I replaced the cable box and the remote with no improvement. Everything I read says that the router cannot affect the cable remote to cable box signal. Either I have another 'bad' cable box and remote, or something is going on.
If I'm on the wrong forum, let me know. Many thanks.

what cable box and remote is it? Tough to tell you much without specifics.
It's a standard Spectrum cable box and the remote they issue with it. What other information would be helpful? We've had the Spectrum service (cable box and remote) for six years and never had a problem until we installed the Nighthawk - next to it.
A model number for both would help. Spectrum has a lot of models. And even models that look the same but have different internals.
