Netgear Nighthawk x4s R7800 - periodic crash (white lighst stay on when crashed)
Hi All, Normally this router has been really stable however over the last week it crashes once a day Firmware V1.0.2.90 (standard netgear not a 3rd party firmware) Access Point mode ethernet...
Some thoughts:
It is possible your firmware has become corrupted. If you are happy with the firmware, re-flash the same version on top and then do a firmware default reset. Be sure and dismount/remove any USB or eSata devices prior.
There are reports of R7800's that were assembled with memory chips that did not last more than a few programming cycles. Did you buy your router new, how long have you owned your R7800?
Check out for testing purposes the Voxel firmware here: http://www.voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/Voxel/html/r7800.html
Be sure and review the Read Me file at the top. They have an active forum over on Small Net Builders https://www.snbforums.com/forums/netgear-ac-wireless.53/
I reflashed using the same firmware from netgear and that didnt' improve. So I'm now testing the Voxel version. Thanks for recommendations
As to devices - nothing new to what I've had running for several months / years.
Thanks for the update. Please let us know the results as your testing progresses.
