I had a Netgear R7000 that would just stop working at least once a day. The power cycles got to be annoying, so I decided to get another. I need the OpenVPN, which I know works... after a long time of being out of date.
The 5 gHz would just disappear. My phone would drop to cellular data, so I didn't notice on there. My Chromebook would just lose Internet. When I checked on either of them, the 2 gHZ router was there, but not the 5 gHz. A minute later, it would reappear, and auto-connect.
I returned it and got another. This one might be having the same problem, just faster, so I don't notice it as much. My Linux box has lots of logs about the Link coming ready, which I assume is a reconnect that I don't notice.
Is all of Netgear destined to be junk? I already bumped up to the $179 R7000 instead of the cheaper ones.
Who else has OpenVPN?
Just bought the abovementioned router a few weeks ago; and am having the same @%%$# issue that you all have talked about. Will Netgear ever work this out? I have to reset the router nightly.
Sounds like I may just be grousing before trying to return it and getting a different brand...
