Just an update on my lose internet connection isssues; as of Friday Jan 26, the Dlink router hasn't lost any connection at all. I've disabled the Dlink router, enabled the Netgear X6S R8000P router back in service, downgraded a previous version of the fimrware, and as of Friday afternoon (Jan 26) until the present Sunday Jan 28 at 12:30 AM, the Netgear hasn't lose connection either. The following gives instructions on how to download, the new firmware to your router. Do not upgrade using a wireless connection. Go to Netgear Support page; sign in; click on Download; enter he Product name or model number; Next page, right side Firmware/software; click on the down arrow "v"; and look for firmware V1.1.4.6
This is the version that's working for my router right now,wihout losing internet connections. Aslo keep in mind, this is for the Netgear X6S AC4000 model R8000P router.
Make sure you update the firmware. Theres a new firmware update. When you update you have to be hardwired to your router. The new update should fix your connection issue.
It is the latest, and did not resolve the issue, so I got rid of the issue all together and replaced it with another router, which works great, as it should. I honestly can't believe you are willing to sell defective products, and in the nearly 10 months it has been out you haven't fixed it.......
