R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
I have been through hell and back with these routers. I started off flashing DD WRT after having issues with dropped packets or slow connection especially after being connected overnight. Everything w...
- New modem and the line was checked and everything was working normally. I’ve figured out what the cause of the issues is. 1. The loss is caused by interference on my 5G Wi-Fi, due to netgear not having automatic channels for 5G I have to constantly switch it myself. 2. The bad speed and loss after being connected overnight is 100 percent a software issue and has been resolved by a hard reset but will come back like it always has. My conclusion is what was said before, avoid netgear equipment unless it’s newer models but after this experience I don’t want to deal with anything netgear ever again. The only thing that’s consistent with netgear is how every support person is persistently blaming the ISP or modem, I suppose the easiest route is to blame the other person.
Most mesh systems are too expensive for me and some don’t even have 4 lan ports it’s ridiculous. Also my frustration levels rise to a new high when companies remove features and settings and a third party is able to do it no problem.
I’ve double checked and ipv6 is enabled and I have a ipv6 address on a couple devices so it seems to be working. I’ll probably try resetting one more time.
- Also I have any monitoring turned off and in access point mode netgear doesn’t allow many settings to be changed so I can’t do much there. I could maybe try router mode and set it up like an access point and make sure all the other settings are off.
