Nighthawk R7000 keeps resetting to factory defaults
I have 2 Nighthawk R7000's that both keep resetting to factory defaults after a power failure. Nothing to do with surges, sometimes when I switch it off and on with the power button it also resets to...
Thank you for your answer! I did exactly once what you describe. It took a long time to set it up manually, I use a lot of NAT's etc... After this procedure (which I read before) it didn't solve the issue and after another power outage the unit reset to factory default again. These R7000's are not under warranty anymore and I read the same issue with similar wifi routers of Netgear not only the R7000. These R7000 worked Ok for about 5-6 years but now they're useless, I'll move to another brand.
Good Luck.
