NETGEAR R7800 FIRMWARE v1.0.2.80 issues
Netgear R7800 Firmware v1.0.2.80 contains BUGS EXACLTLY SAME PROBLEMS and random REBOOT !!! with firmware v1.0.2.74 or v1.0.2.76 or v1.0.2.78 R7800 reboots randomly after boot up .... works...
Thanks for your quick response Darren. My R7800 is in AP mode. I didn't have this issue when I was on 78 version of the firmware. I know I said it reboots but I cannot confirm that. All I can see is that the AP becomes unavailable every 30-45 minutes. The white light on the router becomes orange when there is outage. The outage lasts 3-5 minutes.
this is exactly what is also happening for my router in AP MODE
with theses firmwares
1.0.2.72
1.0.2.74
1.0.2.76
1.0.2.78
1.0.2.80

back to 1.0.2.68 works normally... :/

Just to add to the fine advice from paillassou:
How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
It should be in the release notes, but Netgear has a habit of messing around with those.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/product/R7800.aspx#download and click the "+ View Previous Versions" link to see downloads for previous firmware verions. Apply the version before you started having issues/trouble. Good luck!
It's usually helpful to reboot the router immediately after the firmware version you applied shows up in the home sreen of your router homescreen. That makes the firmware update really apply.
