Rx700 internet drops, bad packet loss
Hello everyone,
Any help is greatly appreciated. I've have researched as much as I think I can at the moment for trouble shooting the rx700. I have already updated the firmware. The WiFi is pretty much non existent, it will work at first for about 10-20sec then will drop pretty fast. I'm getting horrible packet loss on the PC and PS4. At the the range is not very good either.
My modem is tested and running great I have been in contact with my ISP already. Modem is the sb8200 and when it was connected to the Netgear r7500 work just find with great range.
I'm currently running about 10 devices in my house only 2 is on LAN. This can barely run one, I've spent good money and for that was expecting it to work. I'm stuck at what to do.
Thanks for any help!
