WNDR 4300 loses 2.4GHz Radio daily
I purchased a 4300 router in November of 2013. Soon after purchase I had to reboot the router daily to keep the wireless working. Tech support provided a new firmware update which solved the problem. ...
- The issue was never about the Cable Modem. I fixed the issue by swapping out the Router for someone else's and so far it's been rock solid.
Thanks anyway.

My router is three days old. And suddenly, on Day 3, it started crashing/rebooting constantly. It was impossible to connect to it for more than 30 seconds - 1 minute at a time before it went through the same cycle all over again. For two and half days, I thought this product was fine. But now I'm thinking I need to return it to Amazon; this is unbelievably bad service from a brand-new product.
FWIW, I did install the latest firmware update as soon as I unpacked the device and got it up and running. That was on May 13, so I'm assuming it was the absolute latest update. I can't verify the actual number, though, because I've had to take the Netgear router offline and put my (former) Linksys router back into service so I can have a connection.
If there's something more I can do on my end to fix the connection before returning this router, please let me know. Otherwise, it's going back and I'm changing brands.
