NETGEAR R8000 AC3200 Nighthawk X6 Random restart and drop all connections
Hi, I have an issue with my NETGEAR R8000 AC3200 Nighthawk X6 router. I was working fine with default firmware V1.0.3.4_1.1.2. Couple of months ago I installed the latest firmware V1.0.4.88_10.1....
- None of your solutions didn't work. I upgraded to
Firmware Version 1.0.5.88 and it becomes worse.
It looks like the issue is Netgear firmware. It fills up the memory and use all CPU cause to restart the router in heavy load. It started to over heat.
So I decided to flash the router with the Freshtomato open source firmware and everything is working smoothly. Now I can get over 800Mbps internet speed. I downloaded lot of small and big files for hours and that old issue never raised.
So I can confirm it is a Netgear firmware issues. If anyone has the same issue no point of posting here. Just flash your router with Freshtomato https://freshtomato.org/
Thank you.

Probably best as NG may not be putting anymore FW out for the R series routers.
Good Luck.Thank you. I guess so. Netgear firmware is too heavy for old arm cpus. I believe circle and Netgear Armour services cause the issue like this. It uses lot of CPU and RAM even we disabled it.
Thank you.
