R6700V2 keeps rebooting after firmware update
I recently update my R6700V2 router to firmware V1.2.0.76_1.0.1 and it keeps rebooting. It has rebooted at least 3 times today. Can I rollback the firmware update? If so, where can I download the old...
You can rollback the firmware.
Before doing that, I'd actually reinstall the firmware over a hardwired connection, then factory reset, and do a manual reinstall (not from a backup configuration).
to get the firmware. go to the support site and click on downloads.
You can get the current under the downloads and the older version you'd click on "+view previous versions"

I updated to 1.2.0.76_1.0.1 and since then, my router kept restarting every 13:35. Also having a warning message "time zone difference between router and local machine", though both router and PC have the correct NTP configured and synced.
I downgraded to 1.2.0.74_1.0.1 per your suggestion.The router has been up more than an hour now.
Think I don't need to purchase a new router for now.
Thanks

Same here. Router rebooted every 3 hours after I upgraded to V1.2.0.76_1.0.1.
After I reverted the firmware to V1.2.0.74_1.0.1, it stays up.
New router is on order (NOT a Netgear). At least I know I can donate my R6700V2 to a good cause (after I factory reset it).
I appreciate finding the answer here. Thanks all.
