I'm on week #2 of owning the nighthawk r6700v2 / V1.1.0.38_1.0.1 and I'm having to reboot multiple times per day.
The internet connection slowly degrades for all devices until all traffic ceases and reset is required, I've resorted to resetting using the admin console to avoid walking into the other room.
I noticed several 1 star reviews on amazon describing similar issues.
Will you guys experience the issue if you downgrade the firmware?
Did you try MAC Spoofing?
MAC spoofing will be unnecessary if you're on DSL connection.
My unit has behaved well since I reseated my yellow ehternet cable to the modem. Recently, we moved and I experienced one more lockup just after I was plugging in more ethernet cables to the router. I think the WAN socket is really sensitive to cable movement.

What version should I downgrade to?

No I have not tried mac spoofing. I'm using cable TekkSavvy in Canada.
