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???

I can be on the net with my computer, but when my wife turns her computer on the network drops out and I have to reboot the router. We have older systems with USB wifi interfaces. We ae on a fiber 100MBs signal. The router seems to not be able to handle more than one wifi adaptor at a time without rebooting the router. It dies and shuts down the network at times thoughout the day. I then have to reboot the router again.
Doesn't sound like the same problem as the two other people in this discussion.
I suggest starting your own conversation before we all get terribly confused..

- Thanks for your reply. Never would have guessed that the cables were bad.. Will check out.
Thanks again. By coincidence, yesterday I wanted to connect a spare router to my laptop to update the firmware. I picked a cable from the dozens I have lying around. After several failed attempts I changed the cable and it worked immediately.
That dodgy cable came with a bit of kit. Possibly from Netgear.
Simple things can get in the way while we all moan about crappy hardware.
Grrr.
