I have heard bad things about the CAX80, specially about a bad power supply, so I would try replacing that first. However after some googling, looks like it is a proprietary connector, so you can only buy them second hand. Buyer beware.
With that said, if it is only effecting Wi-Fi, have you done a Wi-Fi analysis of your surrounding area? Is it effecting 2.4 and 5Ghz?
Thank you for your quick reply .. yes, it is affecting both networks (2.4 & 5Ghz). I just did the wifi analysis and they are both in channels w/o much activity (2 networks ea channel).
As expressed in my original post I loose both networks at the same time.
Well you could disable the wireless on the CAX80 and buy a AP to connect to it. However I would wait and see if anyone else has any ideas.
What about wired devices? Do they stay connected, or do you lose them at the same time? It could be the modem side talking to Cox causing the issue.
Wired devices stay connected. I tested that this morning. The issue is just with the router section (WiFi) that keeps dropping out. Any suggestions?
If it's not any kind of WiFi interference, broad spectrum emi or rf, then you will probably need to talk to netgear, and look at a possible warranty replacement.
