Hi Mkoish and Bob_Ross,
Please check this firmware and see if the same problem.

Brand new R6700v2 Firmware V1.1.0.38_1.0.1 drops everybody in our house from remote desktop every 1-5 minutes. No real issues with anything else. Switching back to old $20 TP-Link router causes the issue to go away and the issue reproduces with every device in the house, so it's probably the router.
Sounds like the concensus of this thread is that you've all tried a bunch of different firmware versions none of which worked and to just shoot for that RMA?
Hi annirun,
Yes those are exactly the same symptoms I experienced. Switching routers fixed the issue as well in my case which points to something faulty in the 6700v2.
Elaine,
Could use your help getting an RMA issued. I called customer support twice today, both times waiting over 30 minutes without an answer. I have a case # ready, but don't plan on spending more time waiting for an answer. Would be happy to send you the case # and contact info directly if you can help.
