nighthawk r6700v2 losing internet connection periodically

Has anyone had any luck with Netgear support on this.  All I have been told is to reset my router to factory settings over and over.  I have basically same issue as everyone else.  It keeps dropping connections, although anything I have hard wired into back of router stays connected.  It's random, sometimes I can go as long as 3 days without dropping the wifi, usually need to reboot modem atleast once a day.  I setup my old linksys router and ran it for a week, did not have a single drop.  I am temtpted to just eat it on this router and toss it, it's alot of money, but the frustration of constant drops and being told it's my ISP or reset to factory settings...AGAIN is even worse.  I have had this modem for 3 months, and lived in 2 places during that time.  Both places the same issue. I doubt its the ISP.  I had my previous router for about 4 years and don't remember it ever dropping conection unless the power went out. Between the router itself and the lack of customer service I regret wasting my money on this.  If someone ever gets a solution from NetGear that works, please post it for the rest of us...thanks.
