Device limit issue

Question

I purchased this router in January.&nbsp; Worked great until I got more than 15 devices connected.&nbsp; Once I&nbsp; started to get more than this, devices would show they were connected to the router but without internet.&nbsp; If I disconnected (Turned off and on) the device, it instantly had internet again.&nbsp; Netgear hasn't given me a solution that works yet (change DNS, update firmware, Factory reset, Change channels) so I'm rather frustrated.&nbsp; These are the only routers I've used the last 15+ years, so I can hardly believe this has been going on for 2 full months.&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp;

What firmware version are you currently on?&nbsp;What modem is it connected to?&nbsp;&nbsp;

tron76 · Answer

Currently,&nbsp; 1.3.2.124, but I've also used the latest and 2 Versions before.&nbsp; The modem is a Motorola.&nbsp; It is fine because I used the old modem today and worked fine.&nbsp;

That is a brand, not a model. Motorola has made many modems over the years.

Like&nbsp;michaelkenward&nbsp;said, motorola is a brand. What actual model is it?&nbsp;&nbsp;Another thing to try would be the downgrade. You only went down 2 versions. And you didn't put if you reset afterwards. If I was going to recommend a firmware for the R7000P it'd be the 1.3.0.20 version. Its the version prior to netgear armor.&nbsp;If changing firmwares, I'd recommend doing using a hardwired connection, a factory reset afterwards, and to make sure not to install using a backup configuration.&nbsp;
