Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 2.4ghz wifi not working
I'm running the most recent firmware V1.0.7.6_1.1.99. So my R7000 will broadcast 2.4ghz inconsistently, until none of my devices are able to connect to it. The devices will be "No internet, secured"....

Hi kman68,
Reset the router to factory default and try to reconfigure it manually.

Same issue with the R7000. It is driving me nuts. I guess they still haven't fixed it? Over the last couple of months my 2.4ghz band has dropped to 4Mbps down and .5Mbps up on average. I have 300Mbps cox internet and my 5ghz band easily runs at 200Mpbs. 2.4 was running at 80 to 100Mbps. Very frustrated right now.

Hi kman68,
What is the firmware version of the router? Make sure to update it.

That is when it broke. Worked fine with last firmware. When I updated to the latest one is when it went bad along with lots of other people having the same issue. This is a Netgear firmware and genie problem. Not a user problem.
