Netgear router resetting
I powered down my C7000v2 Netgear modem-router and when I powered it back on, the device had reset to the default SSID and password that it came with. This happened to me a few years ago with anoth...
I've not heard anything about any modem resetting at a 3 year mark. NG modems and routers are designed to be running online 24/7 baring any odd problems coming in from the ISP signal or house power outages.
Thanks FURRYe38. My ISP tells me that I have the latest firmware installed for the modem/router and I'll need to get a backup now that it's all configured again.
As I was talking to the ISP tech I asked if they had seen this before. They told me that it's not unusual for Netgear routers to reset themselves after abut 3 years of use (I've had mine for 3 years and a month). Is there any truth to this?
