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.
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your testing comparing the R7000 to the Linksys.
My testing for one ASUS model did not show an advantage over the Netgear, especially in terms of the range.
It works so good I ordered a second one! That one was for my mom this one might be replacing my xr700 at my house which is, according to my daughters, "glitching". I am going to do some research but it appears I am having a similar issue with that router too. For $500 this router was a complete rip off. Never will buy another Netgear router.
