Nighthawk R7000 Offline, Needs Restarting DAILY!
Very frustrating, but ever since firmware update 1.0.11.126 in July 2021, this router goes offline pretty much daily. I can restart it using the app, and that process restores functionality, but in ...
I also just called the internet utility and they suggested doing a factory reset. I'll keep you posted if anything changes.
Moongidget You probably won't appreciate my solution for your issue, but perhaps buying another router will solve your issue.
Up until the last update, v.128, I'd not had an issue with my own router and I was always sceptical of some of the reports about the R7000 AC1900, that is until v.128 borked my 5ghz WiFi. I rolled it back to v.126 and everything is just fine again, however, Netgear only gets one chance with me and I'm now looking for a replacement WiFi 6 router.
I've owned my R7000 since February 2020 and I think including a couple of withdrawn firmwares, there's been something like 7 or 8 firmware updates during that time. Many have been subject to varying complaints. I'm slightly puzzled as to why Netgear keep trotting out update after update if I'm honest. Enough is enough for me.
