AX8 Nighthawk drops signal strength for no reason
I checked the the signal strength in the app to my devices and it was one bar on everything (all wifi devices though show strong connection on the devices themselves). I found that doing a speedtest kicks the router in the butt and seems to get things back to a tolerable level for a little bit.
See the screenshot to see the before, and then immediately after running a speedtest.
Any ideas?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk RAX WiFi 6 Router products:

Re: AX8 Nighthawk drops signal strength for no reason
Firmware: 1.0.5.132_1.0.69
It's a Charter modem. That shouldn't have anything to do with the issue though as I'm not having an issue with the internet speed.
I live in the suburbs, there is no other wifi traffic.

That tells us nothing useful. Charter has supplied many different devices over the years. These days there is a good chance that they supply something that has everything to do with your Internet speed.

Suburbs = neighbours = wifi interference.

As far as wifi traffic. From any device in my house, if you look at available wifi, there is only my network. I do not receive any signal from a neighbors wifi.
• What is the difference between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7?
• Yes! WiFi 7 is backwards compatible with other Wifi devices? Learn more
