AC-1200 R6220 router issues
bought new in 2014 and now I loose conection on my notepad ,tvo an android box , all will switch over to my router from my AC-1200 . I updated the new frimware and same thing. I reboot the router and will connect to modem for a couple of hours then loose connection? I notice my icons will thurn orange color. Does this mean it's dead?
Thanks for the reply , I taught this might had been the problem from the beginning since my AC1200 is 4 years old.

Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.There is a manual for the R6220 somewhere at the end of this link:
>>> R6220 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<
See page 10.
Will I reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash and so far all day it's been steady . Will see if it says this way after a week , quick question is the AC-1200 supost to be left on 24/7 ? or shut off when not in used? I notice it gets warm .

Most people leave these devices on all the time. After all, they usually want constant access to the internet without having to turn something on and off.
All electronic devices generate some heat.
