Netgear Nighthawk issues - am i overloading it?
Hey all, i'll try to keep this brief.
I've recently moved in to a new house & have been in the process of smartify-ing it.
We're running everything off a Netgear Nighthawk & no matter what i do, the connect never stays solid.
We've got:
Hue bridge (Ethernet)
7 Sonos Speakers (split across our tv & dining room)
4 or 5 Nest Hubs
2 Chrome Casts
2 playstations (Ethernet - via a network switch)
2 laptops
2 Pcs (1 on ethernet)
2 ipads
2 phones
Several times a day *something* drops, however it's usually not the same thing. Right now one of my Nest hubs is working fine whilst another says it can't find the wifi & i'm going crazy.
I've tried a single SSID that combined both 5ghz & 2.4hgz & splitting them. I've turned off WMM & QoS. I'm not sure if it could be a issue of conflicting IP/Mac Address? Or if it's just a case of having too much on the internet.
I'm very out of my depth when it comes to this stuff & really have no idea where to start?
If anyone is able to assist I'd be much appreciative.
Thanks all.

Re: Netgear Nighthawk issues - am i overloading it?
What actual model router is it?
What firmware is on it?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
What 5ghz channel are you using?
don't turn off WMM.
