Nighthawk x6 R8000 2.4 GHz Dropping Wifi
Oh god, someone help me, I'm going insane. I had a R7000 that worked fine, but I purchased a R8000 x6 - two days ago. My problem is my Wifi keeps dropping, so far its the 2.4GHz but i haven't be...
After tril and error for about two days of constant work, I downgraded to a older firmware thats pretty old, and now everything works perfectly and as its suppose to!
The answer was to downgrade to: Firmware Version V1.0.4.18_10.1.49
Hard to pin down the issue in that long story. What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
When you replaced the R7000, did you set up the R8000 with the same SSIDs as the R7000?
That can be a good move.
The router is on V1.0.4.18_10.1.49, currently.
I do not have a modem as its a fiber connection, my ISP also informed me its not needed for our internet connection.
The SSIDs are diffrent, completely.
