5Ghz crashing on R7000P
Hi, I'm experiencing an issue whereby the 5Ghz wifi band will 'crash' when large downloads or uploads are in progress when using my Netgear Nighthawk R7000P router. By crashing I mean, all de...
Both routers (the R7000P and the N600, which I'm aware is old tech but it's a temporary solution while the R7000P is being replaced) is plugged directly into the Netcomm NBN FTTC box. No additional modems, wifi extenders etc.
What's weird is that the NBN internet service isn't dropping out. The Nighthawk app still shows the full 100mbps / 20mbps download / upload speed.
Yet devices won't connect to the 5Ghz connection at all. IE: the router is refusing connections.
I'm not sure what could be causing that if it isn't the router?
As mentioned it's instigated by high upload/download speeds.

It probably doesn't matter, but we still don't know what this N600 might be.
- DGND3700 is the Netgear N600 model number.
The NBN FTTC connection box is this unit:

I'm more concerned with solving the issue with the Nighthawk R7000P!
