Netgear Nighthawk R7400 router keeps disconnecting

I have a netgear router with AC2600 Smart Wifi Router, Model:R7400. It has firmware version - V1.2.0.88_1.0.1

 

It keeps disconnecting everyday and autoreconnects. Model has no problem. Can someone please suggest what kind of setting are problems.

    When did it start happening? 

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    Is everything disconnecting? only a few devices at a time? 

    What actual error do you get? "connected, no internet", the wifi not connecting to the router? What actually happens?

      When did it start happening? 

      [Answer]: This has been happening from the day I bought R7400 AC2600 router. Got replacement under warrenty. It worked normally for sometime. However recently I upgraded the firmware and the issue of disconnecting abruptly started again. I downgraded to previous firmware, however the issue persisted. I have reset the router now, lets see how long it will survive without disconnecting.

      What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

      [Answer]: It is connected to Motorola Surfboard SB6121 modem.

      Is everything disconnecting? only a few devices at a time? 

      [Answer]: All devices fail to connect to internet. 

      What actual error do you get? "connected, no internet", the wifi not connecting to the router? What actually happens?

      [Answer]: All devices fail to connect to internet, however Wifi shows connected on all devices. Even NIghthawk app's internet speed test fails.

        Update: The router again got disconnected and reconnected, even after resetting it. From devices, Wifi is connected however no internet is available.
