Repeater slows down every couple fo days - needs reboot
- Hardware Version: WN2000RPTv3
- Firmware Version: V1.0.1.26
- I have not upgraded to V1.0.1.4 because as I usnderstand it its only a GUI change.
I've had this range extender for a bit over 1 year. While it works, its works fine. However, over the past 6 mos or so I've been batling a sluginesh that builds up over just a few days - 3~5. at that time it goes to a crawl - I could walk the bits over to the corresponding web site faster.
I've read a number of similar issues and possible solutions. I have applied some of these changes to it based on recommendations I've read: fixed IP within my network, firmware update. Thats really I all I know to do so far.
The only solution I have so far is to reboot it evey 2~3 days to get the right speed back.
Obviously this is not how this is supposed to work.
I'd probably be happy if lacking any real Netgear solution I could have it reboot automatically evey night...
That said - any additional recommendations?

Just in case I decided to update the firmware since in all likeliness someone will tell me to do that first even though it's proabbly unrelated. So that's done - and I don't see anything different.
Now -
When I did the 'upgrade check' the response was that my firmware was up to date.
So I did a manual download and update.
Once completed, I got the message that a new version was available - referring to the old version I just replaced. Basically a downgrade - go figure.
See attached below.

Please make sure you do a factory reset after the firmware update if you haven't done it yet. Please keep us posted if the issue persists.

Hi Dexter,
Thanks... I've done that already - additionally as memtioned in the post I have to reboot regularly anyway to bring the speed back up.
So since I rebooted the day before yesterday after the latest firmware update, I'm now waiting to see the next slowdown - usually 2~3 days in between.
