XR1000 Blocking all Fire Stick Apps, Arlo, Wifi connected devices (i.e. pet feeder)

I've recently been experiencing issues with my Nighthawk XR1000 router. When I try to stream anything from my Fire stick nothing loads. Everything on the home screen and on the app load, but when I go to stream on ANY app the video never plays. I'm also having issues connecting my Arlo devices which worked perfectly fine prior to these issues happening. Every camera disconnect and will not reconnect. I got one camera to connect and within 5 minutes it disconnected. I'm having the same issue with our wifi plug and pet feeder. Those connect, but disconnect regularly. 

 

What's odd is that everything on my phone, iPad and computer works perfectly fine. Including all apps on my Smart TV so it's isolated to the fire stick app, Arlo and a couple other devices. 

I've reset the router and have confirmed that it's isolated to the router by testing everything with my hot spot. 

I'm wondering if it has to do with the recent firmware update, but I'm not positive and I'm not sure how to test that. All idea are welcome to fix this. I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!

  • Disable Adblocker, see if that sorts the streaming issues.

    For the smart devices disable Smart Connect and connect them directly to 2.4GHz and see if that prevents the disconnects. A long of smart devices favour 2.4GHz or don't like the automatic switching between bands.
