R6700 keeps rebooting randomly
All of a sudden last week, the router kept dropping connection. I updated the firmware, did multiple reboots, did a factory reset, and it still drops connection as it tries to reboot itself. Someone please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it. It is so annoying that this is happening out of nowhere.

What firmware version are you on?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?Is it fully rebooting?
What happens when it drops? (says "connected, no internet" ssid stops broadcasting, what actually happens)
Firmware Version: V1.0.4.120_10.0.91
Modem is also Netgear. I do not have the exact model at hand but the issue is not through the modem, but rather the router.
yes it is fully rebooting.
Error says No Internet.
What happens is the router shuts down entirely resulting in no internet being transmitted in the house. It then proceeds to reboot itself immediately.
Have you tried downgrading the firmware a version?
- I tried researching on how to do this but was not successful.
If you can share the file of a prior version that i can upload into the router portal, that would be great.FW files for you v3 model are here:
