Seeking Help: Nighthawk RS700 Coverage Issues – Any Tips or Solutions?

Hi everyone, I've been experiencing some coverage issues with my device lately. Even in areas where I used to get a strong signal, it seems to be weaker or non-existent. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How does it solve this issue?

    And how are you measuring this? Speedtest? I'd check the actual speeds

    What band are you connected to? 
    6ghz doesn't have as much broadcast power so won't reach as far or through as much as 5ghz. 

    2.4ghz will penetrate more and further but is slower than 5/6ghz.
