R7000 dropping 5Ghz randomly
I was transitioned to work from home so I was able to finally notice this, but my 5Ghz connection on my router occasionally drops. During the course of my 9-10 hour shift, the connection drops around...

the general agreed upon decent firmware for the R7000 is 1.0.9.42.
the recently released version is still waiting feedback but the initial results aren't any better from what I've seen.
What modem is it from xfinity?
Try installing that firmware, factory reset again, and make sure to manually install.

Hi all and our friends at Netgear - Has there been any progress made on fixing the firmware. I bought mine in Dec 2019 and have been having this issue since 2 weeks ago. The ROI is proving to be moving in the direction of a sunk cost for a device that is not cheap.
I took the same steps as stelthlion68 but continue to consistently have the problem
Netgear folks are you able to share any progress on providing a fix for this very important issue that is impacting work and people's livelihood or should I just resign to that this product is not worth the time and go buy something else?

I would definitely try using the latest firmware first, then if it fails, use the old firmware if possible. What firmware do you have right now?
