Netgear X6 R8000 - Wifi Devices connection dropping
Evening everyone. I am facing an issue with my Netgear R8000 - Firmware V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 (This was updated last weekend). For some unknown reason, all my devices connected by wifi on either 2.4...
Thanks for the explanation of needing to do a factory reset. I'm also having this issue and will see if that works. (Same firmware causing me problems since it updated). I usually back settings up and am kicking myself for neglecting to do it this time :(

That's not always a good idea. If you restore settings after some resets all you do is to resurrect bugs that the new firmware introduced.
I mean I would normally have backed up before any change and if there were issues I could restore back to a last known good point to confirm where the issue was
I didn't this time and am being stung as being unsure where the issue is
I am also having the same issue of connection dropout or block after firmware upgrade R8000-V1.0.4.68_10.1.75.
As per sugesstions tried factory reset after upgrade but still same issue. When it works it works but seeing connectivity issues more often now even at 100% signal at - 67 dBm.
Any other suggestion to try out before giving up on this modem which lasted me for past 5 years.

If you have the R8000 it is a router, not a modem.
But telling people what the modem really is might offer some clues.
