I forgot to add that it seems to mess with the Gateway, wifi stops working, cable tv stops working , my Lan setup kept working though.
The gateway needs a reboot once it seems in that state.

Whats the distance in between the ISP router and the R7000?
What channels are you using on the ISP router?
5Ghz?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser.

Hello
The distance is pretty short. (6 meters maybe) Also tried with both of them next to each other as a test.
I was using the 5Ghz signal to get the fastest signal possible, and the channel is "automatically" managed (and its set to channel 44 at the moment, signal seems to be pretty good)I did try a Factory Reset after the latest FW update, and did try a few installs at different times (after the router was disconnected for a few days) all on a wired PC, but it still gives me the same thing.

I'll see if I can produce this as well. I think I saw think on mine and couldn't get time to troubleshoot it more.
