- Netgear support has sent me a beta firmware to test. It has been running for over 24 hours without connectivity problem. Initially, it was not working until I first did hardware factory reset. Directly applying the beta firmware did not work.
Thank you for all the people who have been given me the support and help. You are the best.
The only way you and your wife will be using different channels will be if one of you is on the 2.4GHz band and the other is on the 5GHz band. Otherwise your router itself is configured to use one channel for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz, and anyone connecting to your router has to use one of those 2 channels. If you have lots of interference in your area, there's not much you can do but choose the least-congested channels and hope for the best. Other devices in those frequencies will affect your throughput and ability to connect.
Wireless is a convenience, not a performance, technology and does not work well in all environments. Especially when you have no control over what other devices (routers and otherwise) you're contending with in this congested and somewhat wild-west frequency band.
