dropping connections - refusing password - DHCP??
Does anyone else have to restart this router every 2-3 days? The thoroughput and speed is great, but then it willl randomly just start dropping connections. I dont get it. Most devices will...
What firmware version are you currently on?
When did it start acting up on you?
the current .74 version has caused some DNS issues. Most have been able to downgrade 1 version and be fine.
Try downgrading a version and doing a factory reset/reinstall. (don't use a backup configuration). Disable auto-updates.
If that doesn't help, the other version I'd try is 1.0.4.28
Its the verison prior to netgear armor. A few devices have struggled with armor. But the later firmwares have ironed most of the issues out (other than the 1.0.4.74)
Im on V1.0.4.74_10.1.80
I might go back to the 28. So do the firmware reset, and then go into the settings and do a full factory reset? worth a shot I guess. I dont know when it started acting up it just seemed to work better when it was new out of the box without any of these updates...
Yes, just install the firmware, then after it reboots, factory reset.
