R7000 nighthawk need to be reset everyday
I use this router for apple TV, Sony phone, iPhone, they are able to connect 5G signal,
but I need to reset the router for Macbook pro to search the 5G signal everytime When I need to connect.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
I changed the channel of my 5 GHz from 36 to 153,
changed 2.4GHz to 12,
then my macbook pro is able to connect and search the 5GHz SSID,
maybe I lived in a building apartment,
too many channel are interferred together,
so my iphone can connect but macbook doesn't.
You should check your area with the same channel,
it may affect your connection.
Thanks for you guys support.
I sort it out eventually

What Firmware are you using? Is it a Beta or Official release? What security are you using? What speed is the device?

I m using 1.0.5.70__1.1.91 offical firmware,
security is WPA2 personal,
the router connected to 1000mbps fiber optic modem from ISP.
Currently , I set the schedule to auto reset at 3:00am daily,
I can find the 2.4GHz netgear SSID.
First I need to connect to 2.4GHz netgear SSID
Then the 5 GHz will appeared later on.
so basically I m connecting 2 times everytime for my connection

If you're using smart connect, disable it.
- Soxpatriots32AspirantI'm having same issue, just bought new modem Netgear Cm1000 and NightHawk 10x every 1-3 days it tells me I have no internet on anything that is on eithernet port but wireless still works. I reset and ports work again. I have a range of thing plugged into ports from security cameras / PV/ Smart TV / Xbox one does not matter as long as it is physically ported it losses connectivity.
