NETGEAR CAX80 AX6000 drops Chromecast, Google Home, printer connections

Installed the CAX80 on our Xfinity network, a little over a week, ago. Soon noticed that my 5 Chromecast, Google Home, and hp printer connections were arbitrarily dropped at the same time. Rebooting reconnected all of them, but for no predictable period of time. Could be a half hour, might be a half day. Long story, short, I unchecked the "Enable 20-40 MHz coexistence", and it immediately fixed the problem. Not sure why. It was sheer trial and error. Did the job, with no apparent negative side effects.Screenshot_20210629-122036_Chrome.jpg

Glad it works better for you. Thanks for letting us know.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. 
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
