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...
This router is not fit for purpose. They should have stopped making it in 2014. I have had nothing but constant problems with the unreliability of this product since my purchase last year. Netgear Technical diagnosed the router after I connected it to my PC. They confirmed it was defective. I had to pay for a replacement. If not I had to return it and wait for the replacement so I would have no router đĄ. The replacement router is worse than the first. All they say is we can replace your router again. I don't want a third defective router. I have asked them to replace it with a more upto date model but I'm not holding my breath. After being a loyal customer of Netgear all my life (I'm in my sixties) I will never buy Netgear again. I hope those of you with this this router get it working okay. I'm moving to ASUS đ

- Ya I had a ton of issues in the beginning when I first bought this 2 years ago but I rolled back the firmware to an older version and havenât had any issues since. If/when u go get your replacement I would suggest doing the same until you get another router. It solved all my disconnecting issues and some other quarky issues I had. The last like half a dozen or so firmware updates have had nothing but issues so I turned off auto update and left it with same version for over a year now
