Internet connection stops working
Hello Since 2 weeks i'm having problems with my router Nighthawk R7800. The internet connection stops and after a few seconds its working again. Sometimes 3 or 4 times in 5 minutes, sometimes t...
Yeah I just saw it happen again. Flashed it to 1.0.2.74 and we'll see how that goes. I've never had issues like this - 1.0.2.76 is the first time I have repeatedly seen connections broken - and it isn't just with the internet, it's the local network as well. I was watching a movie that is on another machine's hard drive and it froze when this issue occurred.
I will report back after awhile after I see how 1.0.2.74 is and if it fixes this new issue.
Update: .74 no good. Just got DCed locally again. Going to .68 now to test.
What a weird bug - never had this issue before .76 showed up.
Hello
It is now Sunday 14:22 and i still have had no problems with dropping the internet. As i said i went back to version 68. It is strange only you and i have this problem...

Takes awhile for people to update, most never do it at all.
I haven't seen it happen yet on .68 but I never noticed it on .74 either until I updated to .76 and rolled back.
If it happens again I will report back. Have you had issues with local connections too? I don't visually observe the router when the connection goes under this new problem so I am not sure if it is rebooting itself or what.
