Nighthawk X4 performance drops
I have been experiencing random performance issues with my Netgear Nighthawk X4 router. I have very fast internet speeds (160+mbps) but if I load several webpages at once (eg. 5 at a time), they get stuck loading and eventually have no response. This is over a 5G wireless connection. I have to wait several minutes and reload them all individually again. I have disabled QoS, WMM and have the latest firmware but it makes no difference. I must say, this is quite vexing. I expect more from a router of this price and suposed caliber.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried changing the wireless channel?
If you have the NETGEAR Genie installed, see the best channel to use.
What's the current firmware installed on your router?
Try to adjust the CTS/RTS Threshold and Fragmentation Length to 2304 under Advanced Wireless settings.
