2.4 GHz Band Stops Working
I am having the same issue as described by nquintero. It is occurring overnight and only affects 2.4 GHz devices.
Router Firmware Version V1.0.5.22
ISP Modem/ONT: AT&T BGW320-505 with IP Passthrough (DHCPS-Fixed) to the BE9300
Cable: CAT5E shielded between modem and router
Protection Engine: ON
IPv6: Disabled
Smart Connect: Enabled
2.4 GHz: Auto channel
5 GHz: Auto channel
Access Control is ON
I do see these.
DoS Attack: RST Scan from source: 52.223.17.52, port 443
DoS Attack: RST Scan from source: 34.211.134.21, port 443
It has been solid for several months since install but just this week began to drop my connections to my wifi lighting devices in the middle of the night. I do not stream televisions, those are hard wired. The 5 GHz and wired devices remain connected. The only recovery is a power cycle.

What model router is this? RS###?
CAT6A STP is recommended between modem and router.Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routershttps://kb.netgear.com/24086/How-do-I-set-up-a-default-DMZ-server-on-my-Nighthawk-router
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...Try disabling protection engine if you can.
Did you try changing wifi channels? Maybe there's interference on yours.
