Nighthawk XR1000 intermittent drops wifi
Well where to start, so set was iffy at best pages took a long time to load. Upgraded to 1gb up/down and had to restart router. Did that and router took about 10 minutes to comeback online. Changed se...
- Are you using Armor? If so disable that as we've seen that cause some issues in the past. In LAN Settings, set static/reserved IPs for the devices, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes before accessing/using the internet and then see if it appears to be more stable.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Firmware is 1.0.0.58_1.0.44, I am using auto on 2.4ghz band and switched to 48 on 5ghz was 44 before. The only thing I have hooked up lan is my lutron hub. Once the xbox disconnected I did not try to log into the router, just made a sad face and went to bed. Was playing some elden ring so the frustration was high :). I live on a corner lot, there is me and 1 neighbor, so there should not be much interference. I know the nest cam constantly goes off line because I get a notification when it is offline for 10 minutes, it is really odd, I made the cam use 5ghz because it said 2.4 was not able to handle the bandwidth and 720p video..... Not even using 4k or 1080p......... Sorry forgot to add the modem is behind lock and key from my ISP, if the issue keeps up I will break it open and get a definitive answer, that was not changed when they upgraded the speed.

- Do I shut off armor and things were going well. Then all 5ghz and 2.4 dropped. So the cat5 looks a little shabby from the box on the outside of house to modem. I am going to rewire to cat6 and hope all will be fixed. Thank you. Will let y'all know.
