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.

That was the same with me except only 5G would stay connected. The router even would forget I was connected to it as my network adapter settings would tell me I had a disconnected cable when I would lose connection.
I think that 1.0.5.64 version is bug ridden. How come nobody from Netgear will chime in? Because they know it is broken and are lost as to what to do?

I've had no problems with the latest firmware. The variety of experiences with it is mind-boggling to me. I wonder would could account for such variety?
