R7000 internet problem with newest F/W
I have the wifi speed problem from last week with only 50 download and 95 upload, which i sopose to have 150 up/download, so i tired to reset the the router and update to the newest firmware V1.0.5.64_1.1.88, and with the same result, BUT!!! it brings more trouble to me, THE ROUTER DISSCONNECT INTERNET every 50 mins, browser says can not find the DNS servers, and i tired to rest -> downgrade to 1.0.4.30 -. reset again, still with the wifi problem and it also inherit internet connection problem, OMG, like every 50 mins it drops internet connection, even i manually set DNS as 8.8.8.8
Sorry for bad english, but the internet problem makes me crazy.
Hello guys , finally i fix the problem, i dont have the setting with "set on demon", since i use DHCP servers form my IPS, the way i fix the problem is leaving nothing with factory setting, i am manually changing every setting on the router, open the DDNS, VPN, downloading manager, and BOOM, problem solved, at least it will not disconnect from the Internet, but still in the log it shows reconnect to Internet every 45-50 mins, but i don't have the feeling about disconnect from the Internet. Actually the factory setting brings the problem.

Hmm... Sounds like the WiFi disconnect issues are still present. I was hoping that it would go away with this newest update. This router has so much potential, but stability issues makes it so frustrating. I won't be able to update it until this weekend. I'll let you know if I'm having the same problem.
Did you try doing an 'erase' on the Genie Browser ADVANCED --> BACKUP SETTINGS tab "Revert to Factory default settings" and once up re-enter MANUALLY all your settings?
Have you power cycled the modem with the router off, and then once up powered the router back on?
Yes, i tried to reset and also erase the setting and key in the setting every time, but it still happens.now i downgrade to 1.0.3.68, doing reset and downgrade and reset again, it still happens, the connection issue never happened to me until i update to the newest firmware.
That is a fairly OLD Firmware? Did you look here to get the latest, http://www.netgear.com/support/product/r7000.aspx? Give that a try. Should also be able to get that via Genie on the ADVANCED tab under Administration Router Update. It should find V1.0.5.64 you as well. I did it that way, RESET and manually re-entered my settings without problems at all?
now i find more problem, in the log it says Internet disconnect and connect after 1 mins, it happens every 45 mins, but the ip renew time is 2 hours, sometimes the router can't assign ip address to some devices, everything is default.
- Check if your internet setting in r7000 is "On Demand" (I believe it's the default)
On demand will disconnect the internet when idle. Change the setting to "always on" insteadHello guys , finally i fix the problem, i dont have the setting with "set on demon", since i use DHCP servers form my IPS, the way i fix the problem is leaving nothing with factory setting, i am manually changing every setting on the router, open the DDNS, VPN, downloading manager, and BOOM, problem solved, at least it will not disconnect from the Internet, but still in the log it shows reconnect to Internet every 45-50 mins, but i don't have the feeling about disconnect from the Internet.
