WNR2000v3 Wireless broadcasting but little to no internet connection
Good afternoon! I'm hoping someone has run into this before and maybe I just didn't search for the right keywords, etc. I have a WNR2000v3 router that has been working fine for years, but yesterday...

Led me to notice that Genie wasn't showing correct info like firmware, updates, etc. Logged directly into router, updated Genie, manually updated firmware and changed channel for good measure (actually had 5 things on same channel, just 1 on another).
Seems to be back up and running after another round of restarts.
Thanks!
Have you tried changing the Wi-Fi channel? A neighbor could have set up a Wi-Fi network recently, or some other device, like a baby monitor, microwave oven, cordless telephone, etc., could be transmitting on the same frequency.
