Netgear R7000 Nighthawk has spotty connection.
I just recently purchased an R7000 router, and it's working great... if you're on LAN. Any Wifi connections seem to have incredibly spotty connections. It'll load about 15 seconds of a Youtube video,...
I think I'm just going to go back to my DGL-5500. I know that works. Only reason I picked up the Nighthawk is because my moronic ISP thought my router was bad. And then it turned out to be their modem. At least I'll get the $200 I spent on the Nighthawk back. Thanks for all your help, Ether.
Did you perform a factory reset after updating? A factory reset is a must-do especially if you upgraded from 1.0.4.30 or earlier. The configuration settings are incompatible. After you perform the reset, reconfigure all settings by hand. Do not restore from a backup file saved with the earlier version because it, too, is incompatible.
