XR700 dhcp keeps crashing
The DHCP server on our XR700 keeps on stopping; it works again after powercycling but can stop any time between an hour and 24 hours later. I see that a number of others have had a similar problem bu...
A couple things.
1. This is the general nighthawk forum. You'd want to pro-gaming forum for that device. It runs dumaOS and that's where the experts on it would be. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/bd-p/en-home-nighthawk-pro-gaming-routers
2. what firmware version are you on?
3. what modem/gateway are you connected to?
I am also having the same issue and my kids have finals coming up.
V1.0.1.46 is my current version
I am connected to an AT&T Uverse modem and the wifi is turned on there as well
Your modem already has a router and wifi built in. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH gaming router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
