[R6400] Wired Works, Wireless drops out frequently during day
I've got an R6400 handling wired and wireless networking in my small apartment. Always once a day, sometimes twice a day, all wireless devices will lose wireless internet connectivity, and I will...

Sorry for the delay - I've given the router a few days to see how it behaves.
I performed the factory reset, made sure it had the latest firmware, and used it as-is with no other changes.
I noticed the same behavior: after some amount of time, the wireless network would fail (no connectivity, or sometimes minimal activity with significant packet loss) all while the wired network worked at full capacity.
The LEDs showed no change between a fully functional state and a failing wireless state.
Restarting the router, as before, served as a temporary fix until the wireless failed again later.

Did anyone have any thoughts on this issue?
I am still experiencing consistent drop outs of the wireless network.
Thank you!

Same here. Exact same issue. Also have a R6400v2. Also have router firmware: V1.0.4.128_10.0.104. Connecting via wired works fine. Wireless is the one that goes down. I suspect firmware. So frustrated that I'm darn near switching to anyone else other than Netgear

Did this start after an update?
You can test your theory by rolling back to an earlier version of the firmware.
