No internet on new router but still works on old router

Got the r7450 to upgrade from my older r6400v2. I can set up the internet connection to my router. Internet works great for about 5 minutes. Then I loose the internet. Steady orange light on top panel. Got a new cable, downloaded the latest firmware, uploaded last firmwware version, factory reset of router and modem, reboot of router and modem. ISP says no problem on their side. Laptop to moden is running ok. Old router to modem is also OK. Purchased and returned THREE different routers. All of them have the same issue. What are the odds ? What is wrong with my connection ? Wal mart wont let me return anymore routers.......LOL

  • Not familiar with that model but I would suggest back tracking on a previous firmware til you find one that is stable. Sounds to me like buggy netgear firmware.
