R6120 WiFi randomly drops WIFI connections - SOLVED

After searching all the posts about R6120 dropping WIFI connections and not seeing any answers that solved the problem, I called NetGear support and they fixed my issue. They had me log into the router at 192.168.1.1 (yours may be different), login as admin, Go to Wireless settings and change the default Channel of the 2.4GHz from Auto to "09", then below it on the 5GHz...change that Channel from Auto to "153". Save/Apply settings and then reboot the router (can be done from the Advanced Home Tab labeled "Reboot". I've had no dropped connections in the 2 days since making these changes.

Hope this helps others.
