CM500
Recently bought a CM500 modem to replace my ISP provide modem and I hooked it up and contacted my ISP to do their part and they did and my lan connection is great but my wifi took a dump, I have a nighthawk r700 router, any help would be great

If your Wi-Fi is not acting as it should with your R7000, I assume you updated to a firmware version beyond v1.0.4.30. The versions above that were pulled for public release after most R7000 users had devices being dropped via Wi-Fi on the R7000.
You will want to roll back your firmware to v.1.0.4.30. You can download it from the R7000 Downloads Support Page. After rolling back the firmware, you will want to do a factory erase of your router settings, then reconfigure everything as you like it/want it. DO NOT use a backup configuration file to restore your settings.- I have rolled back my firmware on my router an am still expriances losses of download speed and upload speed on my wifi connections, also I have now expriances heavy losses of download speed and up load speed on my xboxes which are connected to my LAN, my PC though is hooked to my lan and is doing fine. I did not have any of these problems before replacing my modem
