Whole set up keeps rebooting every hour or so
God, I am really sick and tired of this piece of junk.
Firmware 2.1.1.12 on bother Router & Satellite
Every hour or so, the router just drops connection. I take a look at it & the Satellite is pulsing purple, and the router is just restarting.
Is there a fix to this?
Also, I’m having a problem with consistency.
My ping will be something like this...
30ms
30ms
30ms
500ms
30ms
Repeat
Why? What’s the deal with this? I thought this new firmware would fix things, but clearly not.
If anyone knows how to fix this garbage, I would be greatful. I’m really fed up with this thing. A $400 paperweight.

First, I'd suggest update to firmware 2.1.1.16, it doesn't specifically address issues that you are having but I don't think it's any worse and .12 was. I have been running it for a week without issue other than the display issues.
Also the upgrade process itself may fix some of the issues - I've found that just re-applying the same firmware over top of the existing sometimes fixes stability. They are not pushing it so you have to download then update - first the satellites - one by one and then when those are up then update the router.
What are you pinging that is 30ms? When I ping google.com I get pretty consistent 16-17ms.
- Yeah, so I upgraded to x.16 this morning and the thing is running even worse.
I’m really just done with this thing. I don’t think I’ll ever buy anything from Netgear ever again.
And I am Pinging Google as well. Here’s my results;- I so did a Speedtest for fun.
I pay for 250 download & 15 upload.
LOL I hate this Router. So much.
