Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 keeps rebooting
My two year old router/wifi reboots 4 or 5 times per day. Generally all the LEDs go out except power (turns orange) and wifi (blue). It usually takes several minutes to reboot. Running firmware V1....
Sorry for the typo, my model is R7000.
When I login to my router using a browser on my PC using "www.routerlogin.net" I see that my latest firmware is:
Firmware Version
V1.0.11.106_10.2.100
When I check for a later version using the "Check" button it says:
No new firmware version available.
I will use the link you sent
https://kb.netgear.com/000062810/R7000-Firmware-Version-1-0-11-116
to download 1-0-11-116. Thanks.
I've started having a similar issue too the last few days
V1.0.11.116_10.2.100
Thanks JANUS51,
It sounds like you are having the same problem as I am. So if you are already on V1.0.11.116_10.2.100, then that version of firmware won't be a solution. What do you think?
A new wrinkle related to my problem: My router just when down and came back up. Immediately I logged into the router and checked the logs and saw this ...
[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (1) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [52.84.55.235], Sunday, Mar 07,2021 17:58:20
The timestamp coincides with the router bounce.
Maybe DoS attacks are causing the router to go down. Can you help me understand what this means and how I might protect against this?
Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – DoS attacks
Use Whois.net to see who is behind some of them and you may find that they are from places like Facebook, Google, even your ISP.
Here is a useful tool for that task:
IPNetInfo: Retrieve IP Address Information from WHOIS servers
If these events are slowing down your router, that may be because it is using up processor time as it writes the events to your logs. Anything that uses processor power – event logging, QoS management, traffic metering – may cause slowdowns,or worse. Disable logging of DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.
