NightHawk x10 r9000 wifi dropping issue
Hello, I just purchsed Netgear Nighawk X10 AD7200 R9000 wifi router last week and i installed the latest firmware version 1.0.1.36 and I am having issue where the WIFI SSID Drops totally from the...
FYI to all:
I called Netgear support to tell them flashing the firmward didn't work, so they are going to replace the unit. I exeplained to the representative that there were mutliple users complaining of the same issue on the community site, and he told me that the team that handles the advanced issues (tiger team, he called it) told him to replace the unit. There wasn't anything else he could do.
Maybe if the next unit has the same problem they will finally engage engineering, as no one seems to be watching this community site.
So far it has been stable, but it's only been one night. I had the old one in operation for just over a month before I had any problems.
Keep us updated.
Hi my R9000 is updated to the latest firmware and when i switch it from router mode to bridge mode the WIFI signal disappear (both 2.4 and 5 GHZ).
Also it has been presenting connecting delay when trying to open sites.
I'll probabluy switch to my R8000 as it is far more stable thant R9000.
is there any firmnware uopgrade coming to solve these issues?

Carlos70 When you use Bridge mode, the router will not broadcast any SSID anymore. What it'll do is that it will connect to the main wireless router wirelessly. When it's in bridge mode you can only use the LAN portion of the unit to connect your devices.
What is bridge mode and how do I set it up on my NETGEAR router?
Update: After getting replacement router and manually updating router with 1.1.0.36 version it hasn't gone done yet. It has been solid. Its been 2 weeks so far. Keep you posted if it goes crazy again.
