Nighthawk AC1900 C7000 random disconnects every day- 2020 Edition
Hello all, Starting a thread again, since the other threads are too old to be commented on. It has been dropping the internet connection every day at the same time. Sometimes twice a day. Onl...
What happens if you turn OFF the wifi radios. Since you live in a apartment complex, the wfii neighbors maybe a cause of problems.
Per my understanding Wi-Fi radios affect only when connecting devices over Wi-Fi. Here is the issue of ISP connection dropping on modem. I get same disconnects even when I connect my laptop or desktop directly to ethernet. Also tried 'modem only' mode but same disconnect continues. When disconnected upload status channels shows 1 or 2 not connected out of total 4 bonded channels.
I had 100 MBPS Internet only link and just upgraded to 400MBPS. When the connection works I did get full 100 MBPS and now getting 400MBPS on devices without any buffering/issues but still getting disconnects at least 2 times daily. My thinking is probably the cable from ISP drop link to inside building to my apartment may have corroded.
My C7000 is still on firmware V1.01.28 while there is an update showing in Netgear website. C7000 does not allow self updating firmware so stuck on ISP for update. ISP says they will not update firmware as modem is not owned by ISP (bought it myself to stop paying monthly modem fee to ISP). Thanks
I would contact NG support about this. Seems like the modem is faulty.
