    Netgear keeps dropping the 2.4g signal


    Is Access Point supposed to be on? I have a gateway that I have in bridgemode and a Netgear connected as the router. I notice my 2.4g keeps dropping, "Wifi Analyzer" confirms its dropping. I have the radio power at 25%, but Wifi Analyzer still shows it's a "blue" signal, then goes red. My laptop shows 5 bars, so I don't think its the power being lowered. Should I bump it up?

    Would turning on AP fix that?

    Also, wondering about "no name" showing in W A, a strong signal. Is that xFinity's "Hidden Network?"

    I just needed to change the channel, move the channel away from "Hidden Network"

    First check is it on a clear channel as a router on same channel can kill it
