Constant Disconnects - Netgear R6400 v2 - Router Mode - .71, .75, .80

Question

Hello!I have experienced an issue with my Netgear R6400 (v2) in Router Mode. It works on reboot for a few minutes. Then it disconnects and the Nighthawk app reports it as offline if I check there. I have tested this on three different firmwares (10.0.71, 10.0.75, 10.0.80) and the issue persists regardless. I live in an apartment building so there are other routers present throughout the building.&nbsp;Is there something I don't know about with the set-up that may alleviate this? Or is it most likely just a faulty hardware?

It does reduce functionality. But it its worth trying. Its a challenge when you have a shared internet setup.&nbsp;

I reset the router and this time I set it up in Access Point Mode instead of Router Mode.&nbsp;It seems stable. More stable than when I had it in Router Mode.So I think perhaps this is not a hardware problem. But a conflict in how I set up the router in Router Mode.I wonder if I had the same IP address on my router as on the ISP modem... And if that was the problem...

Does it self reboot?&nbsp;&nbsp;

It does not. Once I notice the disconnect, I perform a reboot, and it works again for a short time.

What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
