I am having problems with my R7000 Nighthawk since upgrading the firmware to V1.0.9.88_10.2.88. Daily the router just loses connectivity for both LAN and Wireless and I have to reboot it to resolve. Anyone else having this problem? Any advice on how to fix/request support to investigate this last Firmware? Can I revert the firmware upgrade?

Thanks for advice. I have just downgraded to .42 release and re-built router/network.Let's see how I get on. Has anyone from Netgear Support responded on the problems regarding the newer versions and when a fix to all the issues will be available?

Last know "good" version is .42. Anything after that is a mess with lots of complaints. Just revert to .42

If/when you revert, make sure to do it over a hardwired connect and to reset the router afterwards back to factory. I'd agree with microchip8 that the .42 is the version you want to be on. There's been many issues with the version after that.

I would agree .42 is the best for sure, but a factory reset after .88 seems to make a huge difference. im not worried about the features since im only using it in AP mode
