I've tried resetting the router, updating firmware, and checking for interference, but the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with the Nighthawk AX8, and if so, what solutions or recommendations do you have?
AX8 is not really a full Netgear model number. Details would be helpful. Look on the label on the back/bottom of the device. Maybe something that starts with an R....
A fuller description of what you mean by connectivity issue would also help. Something like cannot connect, once connected it will not stay connected, no range for the connection, low data throughput, etc.
There is a chance some of your settings are contributing to your "issues". Do you have smart connect enabled? Do you have IPv6 enabled? Do you have Armor enabled?
Usually a Wi-Fi router broadcasts a signal that various devices use to establish a connection. The actual connection is made by the device, not the router. Do other devices have issues with establishing a Wi-Fi connection?
What is the brand name and model number of the modem/ONT that is connected upstream between your router and the internet?
