I also have an older WIFI router connected through the POE switches for my basement (I left off my config) and it DOESNT lose connectivity when the nighthawk does.
- Please upgrade to the 3.0 beta which has a fix included for this specific issue and see if it is resolved: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/New-Firmware-v2-3-2-120-XR500/td-p/2071196/jump-to/first-unread-message
I would recommend doing a factory reset after upgrading for a fresh installationTrying that. Router has come back - I will watch for issues. Is there a KB article about the problem and what fix addressed it ?
- No KB article no, just the change log entry on that post
