Latest firmware killed my Nighthawk AC1750 R6700v2
I have so many issue with this unreliable router. I have another post @ https://community.netgear.com/t5/WiFi-Range-Extenders-Repeaters/My-nightmare-has-begun-from-Nighthwak/m-p/1444481#M20761 I ...
Update:
The solution works I think.
Since I already did static ip way before for port forwarding, the only setup was different was the DNS. I have both DNS set to the google DNS addresses, not the DNS addresses were defaulted. It's more than 40 hours and my internet is still good.

Now I did factory reset and reconfig my port forwarding and so on.
Has it thrown a wobbly since you did that?
No...
When I posted it which was last night I reset. This noon I went out for lunch then got home by 2pm the internet was down again. This router now is totally junk and the customer support line never picks up my call.
- Pretty much the same thing happened to my R8000 with the latest "security update" firmware, and I had to roll back to an earlier version. Netgear seriously does not have their act together with recent firmware releases.
- Does anyone know how to get the older version firmware?
