R7000 keeps dropping wifi connection
My Nighthawk Router R700 keeps dropping signal. I've rebooted it, reset it and checked for updates. Still having problems. I've even done this with my modem. These are brand new, only 3 1/2 months o...
I was having the same thing happening on my nighthawk and believe it or not it was a corrupted fire stick. Once I reset my fire stick to factory defaults it solved the connection issues immediately.
Hello, I saw that you said you had a corrupted firestick that was causing your dropouts. I have several firesticks in my house and I’ve been currently experiencing the same WiFi dropout with my R7000 as well for a little over 2 months now. At first I thought maybe it was the overloaded servers throughout causing internet issues in general with so many people being at their homes now and inevitably using their service more then normal but it’s going into the latter days of this whole thing and I’m still experiencing random dropouts (one just a short while ago). At any rate, I have tried just about everything I can think/read of including factory resetting the router itself. I was considering downgrading the firmware so I was about to do so when I came across your corrupted firestick scenario. How did you figure out that it was what was causing the issue if you don’t mind me picking your brain lol. Thankyou in advance for any light you may be abele to shed on the situation
