Have you tried updating to the latest firmware which is currently .116, which, fingers crossed, has worked well for me so far, or downgrading to the firmware that has the reputation for being the most stable which is .42??

My current firmware is _10.2.100 Going to try the .116 firmware now

If that doesn't help, I suggest going back to .42.. I don't personally like using old firmware, but it none of the newer firmwares work, it is about your only choice. I had to do that for a couple years until the recent .116 firmware.

Its running through a sky hub so i cant turn the sky SSID off to make the nighthawk the router so to speak it has to be a double or a AP,
But as we are running alot of kit i have been advised to run 2 xboxs ps4 gaming pc all via ethernet through a switch, this is going to be ordered over the weekend
