Hi Garyr51,
Try to reset the router to factory default and reconfigure it manually. Change the channel of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
Hi PChell,

I wonder if this is a firmware or hardware issue? I ran firmware 1.0.4.30 for a long time without issues. I have demoted my R7000 to be a bridge and am running the latest firmware 1.0.7.6 without issues.
I never upgrade firmware unless there is a fix I need or a security issue. If I had problems like yours I would flash back to 1.0.4.30. Try flashing in firmware version 1.0.4.30 and see if that works for you. You will at least be able to determine if it is a firmware or hardware issue.
