I have similar issue on this router. The 5G radio working fine, but the 2.4GHz is keep dropping the internet connection. I have upgraded to thge newest FW, but the issue still not fixed. Everytime, when the router re-started, the 2.4Ghz works for less than 24 hours, then the bandwidth dropped from 200Mbps+ down to less than 1Mbps. I have only 2 devices linked with 2.4GHz band but none of them can work well. if I drop 1 device, then the other device can get about 1Mbps bandwidth.
In the same time, my 5GHz band can keep around 800Mbps with my 1.2Gbps gateway.
It seems like the 2.4GHz radio did not working properly on this model. I saw a lot of users reported the silmilar issue in this router. I wish Netgear can fix this issue.
The model I have is RAX70 — Nighthawk Tri-band AX8 8-Stream AX6600 WiFi 6 Router
