Problems after updating R8000 firmware
I have a pc which only connects to the 2Ghz band but since updating the firmware it has very poor signal & drops out constantly. Other devices are connecting ok? Any known issues or fixes?
Hi Reenio,
Please perform a factory reset and power cycle on the router after a successful firmware update. I also suggest making sure that the driver for the adapter of the computer is up to date. You may also use the Wi-Fi Analytics feature of the NETGEAR Genie app if you have it installed or any similar program to check for interferences and select the best channel.
Regards,

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry about replying late. It was a work pc & IT updated the adapter. Works sweet now. Thanks again :-)
Nighthawk X6 R8000
Firmware Version
V1.0.2.46_1.0.97I am not able to establish a wireless SSH connection from my Windows machine to a Linux through the R8000 after updated the firmware. I am able to establish a wired connection. Please suggest how I may recover the functionality. I have setup port forwarding for the server.
I see above that a factory reset my be needed but the user manual does not state how to do this.
How do I perform a factory reset and is there anything else I should check?
