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.
Netgear replaced my router before the current firmware was available. I did not have any problems with the old firmware on the new router, and I’m not having any problems now with the new firmware.
Ever since I upgraded to V1.0.2.32 I have been having not only WiFi dropping but wired connections dropping internet.
I did the factory reset after the upgrade, but nothing changed from my settings.
Then yesterday the router dropped all WiFi and changed SSID to factory default. All my settings were gone including the reserved IP addresses.
Reconfigured the router beck to my settings and all has been fine since.
Can't figure why it took three days from a factory reset for the unit to respond.
I currently rolled my Firmware back to V1.0.1.36.....It is nice to have some of the features working again. So far, the network has been stable but we are only 24 hours in. The current Firmware I had to reset 2 times a day, then I rolled back one and had to reset about one time a day. I had QOS enabled on the current firmware and the router was nice enough to reset itself multiple time a day and sometime an hour. I hope V1.0.1.36 goes well as I know I had less problems in the past with one of these.....I still think this router is junk...
I have to agree with you. After resetting the router Im still loosing wifi connection. It is frustrating to invest in a high-end router and experience such a basic problem which should be solved with a quick (and urgent) firmware upgrade, I'm going back to my R8000 until this is fixed.
