Hi All

After upgrading to R7000-V1.0.5.64_1.1.88 from R7000-_V1.0.3.80-1.1.38 this week I am experiencing lots of disconnections from the Internet on both 2.4 & 5 wireless modes and LAN ports. When I check the logs it show every 15min or 30mins [Internet connected] IP address: XXX.XX.XXX.XXX, Thursday, Jun 09,2016 13:10:59. I have done all my checks (Like connect straight to the modem) and flashed the firmware in the correct way (Factory reset, manual config and power cycle). I must admit that l had the odd one or two disconnections with the previous firmware that's why I did the upgrade but it seems worse now. I am more concern with a stable connection rather than bells and whistles could someone advice me on a stable firmware to use for now until Netgear sorts this 3 year old problem out on what I see from reading the forums. My two laptops which one is connected to the LAN and the other on 2.4 wireless and four android devices which two are on 5 wireless and the others on 2.4 wireless are all suffering from the same symptom.

I'm getting things like that too, and it has been getting worse and I've reported it to ElaineM. However mine all look like this:

[Time synchronized with NTP server] Wednesday, Jun 08,2016 19:51:40
[Internet connected] IP address: My Wan IP Address is here, Wednesday, Jun 08,2016 19:51:40

My IP Address is showing but I never see a DISCONNECT? This started in the last few days it seems. Before that it was basically every 14 hours or so it sync'ed the time. Now I'm down to 1 1/2 hour or so intervals:

[Time synchronized with NTP server] Tuesday, Jun 07,2016 02:53:44
[Internet connected] IP address: 1xxxxx0, Tuesday, Jun 07,2016 02:53:44
[Time synchronized with NTP server] Tuesday, Jun 07,2016 01:08:44
[Internet connected] IP address: 1xxxxxxxx0, Tuesday, Jun 07,2016 01:08:44
[Time synchronized with NTP server] Monday, Jun 06,2016 23:23:44
[Internet connected] IP address: 1xxxxxx0, Monday, Jun 06,2016 23:23:43
[Time synchronized with NTP server] Monday, Jun 06,2016 21:38:44
[Internet connected] IP address: 1xxxxxx0, Monday, Jun 06,2016 21:38:43
[Time synchronized with NTP server] Monday, Jun 06,2016 19:53:44

Before this the time sync's looked like this:

[Time synchronized with NTP server] Thursday, Jun 02,2016 11:53:19
[Internet connected] IP address: 1xxxxxxx0, Thursday, Jun 02,2016 11:53:18
[Internet disconnected] Thursday, Jun 02,2016 11:53:17

I do NOT see the DISCONNECTED in the logs anymore. I do NOT experience drops either from what I can tell, but if the old log right above is correct it is only a second or two, but maybe the PC re-connect takes longer? However in NO case did I see a re-connect immediately after the INTERNET CONNECTED entry?

I'm wondering if there was a change on some internal time server NG is using?
