Brand new R6400v2 drops internet connection every day

after the firmware update, did you ever do a factory reset?
The firmware changed quite significantly since release. Maybe an old setting is causing issues.
If that doesn't help, it should have 90 days of free support.
To get a hold of support. Click on "MyNetgear" at the top.
Register an account (or login) and then the device.
From there you can start the support process. Keep in mind that its only free for the first 90 days.

Thx plemans
All network activity ceased on the router (wired and wireless - no connectivity to the router). I have to power-cycle it and wait for the power & internet LEDs to go white before I can get a wired login to it.

Only 2 in my home, and the price/speed was right. I didn't want to spend $$$ for the latest box when the R6400 would do nicely for the price point. Still, regardless, it should be reliable out of the box?

Thank you PLEMANS - reset to Factory Default after updating firmware seems to have resolved the condition. The router has remained online for several days in a row now.

Glad it fixed the issue!
A backup is always a good thing to make once you have a stable device 🙂
