Nighthawk R8000p Wifi dropping - Any updates?
Still having lots of wifi drops on our R8000P router. I have tried everything and it will be find and just start totally dropping. Anyone have any new ideas on how to fix? Netgear when are you going ...

Well the full reset and reload and everything else was fine for about 48 hours then it started dropping again on the AC4000/R8000P. I tried all the suggested settings and no luck.
I even swapped 2 different Netgear A6100, Netgear A7000 and Linksys AC6700 usb wifi's and no luck all of them would go a bit and then start dropping. I installed the Netgear Genie and it was detecting quite a few drops. I uninstalled and reinstalled everything.
So back to my old Netgear DGND4000 Router and my Linksys usb wifi and it's been totally stable now.
So frustrating!!!
