Nighthawk R6700v3 Loses connectivity once a week
Hello-
I have the nighthawk **R6700v3 (**Firmware Version V1.0.4.98_10.0.71) I purchased from Amazon. So far, the router hasn't been that bad. The only issue is I lose connectivity about once a week and I have no choice but to reboot the device. I don't have a modem. I have fiber coming straight into my home.
Issue Details:
-Router becomes unresponsive
-Can't access 192.168.1.1 to troubleshoot
-All clients can't access internet until router is rebooted
I tried looking in the logs, but they don't go back very far. Any thoughts as to why this is happening or ideas to fix?

try installing version 1.0.4.102 of the firmware. Factory reset the router and do a clean install (not from backup)
