I bought my 7000 nighthawk 10 weeks ago and everyday I too have to reboot my router . I called twice and tech support walked me through firmware update . Today my wifi dropped again and I just finished rebooting it ,so I'll call tech support today and also will extend tech support warranty ( thinking I'll need it )

There is no point in expecting to find useful solutions in a long and growing discussion that started two years ago and may be be down to a completely different issue. There are many reasons why wifi can have issues, many of them may have nothing to do with your router.
There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one, so if you do want help with your problem, check previous stuff that may be related then start your own discussion.
If you do decide to ask a question, you should provide more details and your own version of the information that the forum suggests that you provide. For example, as this is a router, it helps to know what modem you are using and the various things that you have tried to fix the problem.
