Nighthawk R7000P Keeps Restarting
As the subject states, my R7000P keeps restarting. It's about a year 10months old so I don't think age is an issue? This behavior has occurred randomly with no pattern within the past year but re...
I was using Auto on 5Ghz. I have tried 48, 151, 168 with no luck. I ran some command on cmd prompt to pick those upper ones since no other routers in my area were using those. Trying 40 right now.
On 2.4 I've tried 1, 6, and trying 11 right now.
I have not done a factory reset on the new FW yet so I'll give that a go if the router restarts again on those other channels.
Restarted even after the firmware updates and channel changes.
Any other ideas?

If you start getting tired of that router and about to ditch it for something else you can always try third party firmware like dd-wrt. I see on their page that you can flash it with dd-wrt for your model of router. Maybe that will make it more stable.
Hi calbar, have you tried resetting the router while on the latest firmware yet? If not, please try doing so and configure the router from scratch instead of reloading an old config file. Let us know how it goes.

I did -- so far so good after that factory reset but going to give it another few days to see if it doesn't reset or not.
Also apprehensive about downloading third-party software in case I need to use the warranty and get a hardware replacement.
It's as if the router hear us trying to fix it -- the router just restarted again.
I'm out of ideas -- I contacted support earlier this week but haven't heard a response yet.
Any other ideas from the community?
Before I forget, thank you for all the help and prompt responses.
