    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

Hi All,

 

If the router has no connection, bypass the router and check if the modem has internet without rebooting it.
