Nighthawk R6700v2 losing connection to CM700 Modem
Hi there,
We are relatively new Comcast Xfinity custmers and decided to buy our own Modem (CM700) and Router (Nighthawk R6700v2).
Every morning we find that our computers are disconnected from the internet (DNS Server error), although the Comcast Home Security system is connected through our Modem... and I can access the Internet on my phone when the computers show they are disconnected, however.
Each morning, I have manually reset the modem. Today, however, I reset the router instead and the system came back up... which suggests the problem is with the router.
I have been told Comcast send updates around midnight every day... and thought this might be causing the modem/routers issues...
Can anyone advise on how I would investigate the issue with the router?
Thanks in anticipation,
Allan
Hi there,
Wanted to update this thread....
Since I downloaded and installed the latest firmware for the R6700 to V1.2.0.12_1.0.1, 4 days ago, my disconnection issues in the mornings has evaporated!
I know it is early days... but the update seems to have worked!
Thank you for doing this!
Made our lives much easier!
Regards,
Allan Thompson

I am having the same issues. The only difference is that we have a motorola surfboard modem. Would love some help too.
which surfboard are you using?
Sorry - don't understand - what do you mean by 'surfboard'?
Hi All,
If the router has no connection, bypass the router and check if the modem has internet without rebooting it.
Hi All,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
Hi there,
Thanks for replying - we are away from home at the moment..
Yes, bypassing the router and using just the modem, gives us access to the internet
Hoping this helps!
regards,
Allan
Hi Thompa3642,
May I know what is the firmware version of the router? Make sure it is updated. (https://kb.netgear.com/000038706/R6700v2-Firmware-Version-1-1-0-34)
Sub'd for updates.
Hi Again,
Sadly after being away for a few months we returned home to our home and found we are still experiencing the same issues... each morning I have to reset the system to reconnect to the internet..
I immediately checked to see whether there were any firmware updates... to make sure I was running the latest.
I have investigated and am bemused by what I found...
Some wireless and wired devices are disconnected from the imrenet... but some remain connected.
My phone remains connected and I can happily browse the internet, read emails etc. but my wife's Chromebook is disconnected.
I rebooted the modem (CM700) and this had no effect on the connected devices.
Had to reboot the R6700v2 and this reconnected us to the Internet.
Checking the log on the R6700v2:

Interesting thsi morning.... using my phone on the internet while my wife could not get an internet connection.... she was not happy... but that isn't the point!
When I checked my phone wif connection. I was connected to the 5G signal and she was not. I changed my phone's wifi to connect to the 2.4Ghz signal and immediately was told there was no internet connection. Weird!
Does this help anyone analyse why I still have to reset the R6700v2 every morning?
Very desparate for a solution now... will be nuying another router in the January sales!
