DGND3700v2 2.4GHz drops internet

I notice a few people stating that they keep seeing internet drops. I also see this but not on 5GHz WiFi. It only happens on 2.4GHz.

I played around a while to see if I could change channels or something to make this better and then I noticed something. If I run speedtest.net on 5GHz I get 10Mbits or more pretty much constantly. But on 2.4GHz it starts at 10Mbit/s and then slows down steadily until it chokes up and drops the link. This can sometimes take quite a while but it does happen almost all the time.

Can anyone think of why this might be? This is my second DGND3700 router from Netgear (the first was v1 this is v2) and both seem to have the same problems.

Try to change the wireless channel of your 2.4 GHz.

Try also to change the CTS RTS Threshold and Fragmentation Length of the 2.4 GHZ network to 2304 under advance setup wireless settings.
