My R7000 toggles between "looking for Networks" and on
My router does not want to stay connected to the internet? It jumps back and fourth between Looking for Networks and on constantly? If I restart my IMac it seems to solve the problem temporarily? But...
I fixed my router within 1 hour after months of troubles!
It's called a TP-Link router.
Replace the router with a different brand and no more troubles!!

What firmware version do you have on the router? A number is more useful than vague "the latest" guesses. It may not be by the time people read this, and there can be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up in the browser interface.
What is the modem in front of this router?
Remember, when trying to connect a network to the internet, it is important to do things in the right order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
