R7000 goes offline frequently
My R7000 bought a year ago is the most unreliable router I have ever had. Sometimes most devices go offline, sometimes just a few. Tonight I have done 2 resets. Google nest working but TV streaming ha...
Hi yes am in the UK and like you bought a Vigor modem. As i say frustration coumpounded by fact that central heating etc now controlled by Google Nest installed last week and so going off line not ideal. i am with Zen and i know there have not been many outages because they provide that info if you ask. Their router is a Fritzbox which is a solid piece of kit and very configurable and very reliable. The reason i switched was with two people WFH plus a 15+ other devices it struggled. Maybe wasnt the router who knows, but certainly the Nighthawk was better to start with. Was also attracted by security software on the router.
Intersting what you say about V126. Wasnt aware of that version, i will look at upgrading from 116 to 126 i think.
Re future it will defintely be mesh next time, probably Asus Zenwfi AX XT8 which is getting great reviews!
I tried all new cables and moving router. Tried updating to latest version. Even worse! However now solved after I replaced nighthawk with Asus Xt8 mesh in same place with same cables. Works perfectly. Think I will steer clear of Netgear in the future. Sorry guys..
