Home Network Upgrade
Currently I have the R7000 and I am getting alot of drops, sometimes 5g isn't even active. I have the latest firmware on the device. Network Topology - 2 Xbox Laptop (used to play online game...
I'm having the same issue with my R7000. I have the latest firmware, and have re-set many times. The 5G signal keeps dropping, many times throughout the day, the 2.4G does not. I had to change every item in my house to the 2.4 to maintain a signal. This is very annoying during these COVID times, trying to work from home with an inconsistent signal. I've read that the only way to solve is through downloading an older firmware version. I should not have to do this to get my router to work. I have no baby monitors, no cordless house phones, etc. that would interupt the signal. Please fix - very unreliable. Using firmware 1.0.10.90_10.2.90.. Doesn't look like this issue has been resolved yet. Got in trouble for thread jumping, hopefully this is the proper thread for 5g dropping with the R7000. Any solutions yet for solving this - I am not going to revert back to some firmware from 2 years ago. Netgear just need to fix it - seems like this issue has been around for years now.
Please post about this here for your model router:
