Nighthawk 7900 Drops Internet Every 48 Hours
Having what I think is a weird issue. Every 48 hours (I could almost set my watch to it) my Nighthawk 7900 router loses it's interent connection. If I log into the web interface it says everything ...
Just to close this out. I switched to the R7800 nearly 2 weeks ago, and it has been rock solid. The issue of the internet connection dropping every 48 hours has stopped.
It would appear that there is some sort of issue with the Costco R7900 firmware. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, but there are others out there with the same issue. Hopefully they will get it fixed, but for now, the 7800 seems very capable an no noticible difference other than not having the network go down every two days like clockwork.
Thanks for those who offered advice and suggestions!
I also had this strange 48 hour issue. I obtained the test firmware and it seemed to fix things.
There is also this official beta avialable that should fix it:
