Nighthawk C7800 automatic restart when no signal from cable
So I have a simple issue, I want to use my router as an AP since I moved to a new house and here I got fiber which is my only option. I was able to configure the router to work as an AP by disabling ...
What FW is currently loaded?
I thought only the CAX line of modems had the auto reboot if no signal was detected...
Current Firmware is V6.01.07 and I was using XFinity comcast as the previous ISP
Also just in case for full clarification router model is NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S C7800 which is a modem/router combo unit.
Thanks for the clarification. I have one myself.
Wondering if NG put the auto reboot in newer code. Only thing I would try is to put a good quality coax splitter on the line and tap off it to the C7800 in faux AP mode which would probably stop the auto reboot. You don't have to do anything else. I know I had my C7800 in faux AP mode a while back as a test and saw no auto reboots, however it's FW hasn't been updated as I've not had it officially online for years.
