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?

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?
My logs are just the same as yours but as you know different times, dates and IP. I also never see a DISCONNECT in the logs when I check just after it happens.

Any NETGEAR Moderators out there can shed some light on this situation which some of NETGEAR customers are having.
ElaineM, I'm having the same issue (see log below):

[Internet connected] IP address: 24.xxx.xxx.76, Sunday, Jun 05,2016 17:36:28Also, my WAN uptime is off, yet my cable modem hasn't been rebooted, re-sycned or touched in over 10 days (checked with my close friend who works for my cable company as a Tier 3 Tech). Definitely something in the latest firmware (see image below). Anyone else notice this issue?
I just looked at my Statistics:
Interesting data. Uptime almost 17 days but the WAN was up only 5 days and 6 1/4 hours, yet the other wireless signals were up for almost 15 hours more?
I checked the daily logs I'm sent and the last disconnect I saw in the logs were 7 days ago as I posted above, almost 8 days ago?
First I'd say I don't really trust all the data in the log. Especially the 'attacks', I think most of them are bogus because of the attacking IP Address. I suspect most if not all is due to the router losing track of a packet or a delay in returing from a call in the s/w.
I now sort of don't trust the statistics either as they do not match what 'we' seem to be seeing?
Logging to me isn't as important as the router operating properly, and from what I can tell, usability, connection continuity, and connection speed, it seems to be for me.
I do KNOW I have an Amazon FireTV stick that forever has been making continual IP Address calls to the router. It comes and goes (starts stops) often for no appearent reason, but it is ONLY that device, so I'm not worried about that. It does not seem to bother the router operation.
BTW, my Poll Interval is set a 5 seconds, I notice that yours is blank.
Can someone tell me why when we flash a new firmware or old in my case, that the GUI still has the latest build on there? Why doesn't it get flashed and get the same version as the firmware being used?

Did you RESET the router after flashing, needed especially after going down in version. Then manually re-enter settings is needed.
- Same here with that Gui issue, other topic with firewall, the firewall is bad in giving information , talked with netgear about it ,only reply was, its like that take it or leave it, i took my Old sitecom gaming router 2 and connect it the firewall shows More info ,you Will be suprised how many connection attempts you have from the outside world ,
They've now bumped the version number up to R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.5.70, with what appear to be some minor changes.

Well imagine that. After a week of nothing but problems, this new firmware fixed my problems. Thanks to all of those who have helped me try to find a solution to my woes. Unfortunately, I can't say the same towards the Netgear people as throughout my ordeal, not ONCE did I hear from them. Shady customer service at its best.
So this is what I think: Netgear does have a good product when it works but the same can't be said about their relation with us, the customers. Very sad.
Does 1.0.5.70 fix the GUI not changing? I had the same problems as some where when I downgraded from 1.0.6.40 to 1.0.5.64 the GUI stayed at 1.0.6.40-2.1.38.1. The funny thing is I was having strang wireless issues untill I put 1.0.6.40 back on. So was wondering if anyone downgraded to 1.0.5.70 without any issues? And yes I reset my modem each time and manually changed settings each time I allways update my modem.
