R9000 Losing Wired Ehternet Ports - AGAIN
I have the Nighthawk R9000 modem and when I first got it at the beginning of 2020, I was having problems losing the wired ethernet ports every day and I had to reboot the modem and the router to rest...
When the newest firmware upgrade failed again after a few hours, I took your advice and loaded the previous version. Looking at the version dates, it made sense. I started having problems as soon as the newest version was loaded. So far, so good. Thank you.
I am surprised how a company like Netgear can update equipment with faulty firmware.
Does the issue happen with every wired device or just one of them?
Also if it happens with all wired devices, can they ping WAN addresses, if not, can theyping each other. This will help to track down if it is a hardware issue, or if there is some other weird bug.
Also do you have any really long Ethernet runs, e.g., 200-300ft+?
Thank you for the response. All of the wired connections fail. There is no connectivity among them. The longest connection is 100' to the upstairs.
