NETGEAR R6350 Drops Internet Constantly
Interestly enough, the Model input field will not accept the R6350 AC1750 router that I have which already has me worried.
Several times a day, I lose my internet connection. My ISP is stable ...
For my original problem, I went through every answer and possiblity. I monitored my ISPs uptime and just kept looking for answer. In the end....it was a cable...and I am not kidding. Not ONE cable but THREE bad cables as I literally changed cables three times. All were manufactured, not terminated by me. I am wondering how many others have changed one bad cable for another. How many manufactored patch cables are out there tha have intermittent issues???
Hi,
My R6350 is dropping all the time as well. Did you get the answer to fix it?
I was hoping the admins would post the solutions so everyone could see them. It would help us as we try to improve our connections. Just bought it yesterday and uploaded the latest firmware. Seems to drop about every 20-30 minutes. Always hooks back up,but is frustrating as have to wait for a while.

How did you update the firmware? Manually? Using the automated process in the GUI (browser interface)?
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.
This is a nuisance because you then have to reconfigure the device all over again.
You can backup your settings before you reset and restore them later. But that may just bring back the fault. Then again, at least you will know if the reset fixed the problem.
And what is the modem in front of the router?
