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.
I, too, am reverting back to the R8000. The speeds are faster, regardless of separate or merged 5g bands, and connectivity is seamless. The range with R9000 was greater right out of the box, but the R8000 is now superior in terms of range, as well.
I watched prices for the R9000 fall from 550 to 450, and just recently from 450 to a range varying between 330 and 400. This pattern normally takes place as a newer model hits the shelves, however, the R9000 remains latest model.
With that being said, prices don't plummet due to a small handful having issues. It is obviously a product with widespread flaws and I have yet to see any official statements released regarding them.
This will most likely be my last netgear product, as I've also witnessed my 30 dollar TP-Link 750ac extender outperform a 120 dollar netgear 1900ac.. significantly. A product I was actually able to return. Unfortunately, it doesn't help the $550 mistake sting any less.
Good luck with this. R9000 was my only reason for having to browse and post this forum. Hopefully I may still be able to snag 100 bucks off eBay for it. The poor performance seems to be fairly well contained from the marketing aspect.

7 days now with V1.0.1.36 and life is much better. I have not had to reset this router one time and it is not reseting itself. I have not tested speeds, I'm just glad it is allowing me time in my day again to do other things other than work on it.
