R6700 v3 Intermittent connection issues
I just purchased the Netgear Nighthawk AC1750, R6700v3, and while on my laptop, I'll occassionaly see, your internet connection has been restored. All cables are secured, so I'm not sure what the is...
The current firmware is: V1.0.4.106_10.0.80
How frequently is it happening?
Usually when wired connections are dropping, we start with the modem. If the drops happen enough (could times a day or so), I'd hardwire into the modem and use it for that period to see if its the modem dropping and not the router.
It usually happens when I first start using the laptop. Antything to do with the type of cable I'm using which is a CAT5E patch cable? Does the amber light for the laptop on the router have anything to do with it?

the amber light is on the laptop, on the router (and which light)?
Have you tried a different cable or device? It wouldn't be the first time a cable or a ethernet jack on a device was bad.
Or a different port on the router?
This is my second cable, although not new, and I have tried one other port. I might just get a new cable, not very expensive, and see what happens.
