R7000P 5GHz wifi speed going down after a few days
Hi!
I am having issues with my rather newly purchased R7000P router. I have both 2Ghz and 5Ghz wifi enabled. The problem is that at first everything works fine, but after a few days of working ...
So my router just stopped working. Red power light, neither simple or hard reset works. I am returning it and probably going with TP-Link next time.
Case closed.
Nope. Pluging Powerline adapter directly to router did not solve the issue.
I am now out of options.
Maybe try a cheap router as a wireless bridge to "mesh" your main router to the other end of the apartment vs. the powerline adapter? Or, buy one of the Nighthawk wifi extenders, which does the same thing as what I suggested above.
The problem is that my ethernet cable goes to only one side of apartment. Extender is what I had before, but it had way too much of a signal loss.
I would still like to solve this my issue without buying new hardware. Need to mention that before that I use Apple Airport Express and had no issues.
I also have just noticed that my router sometimes does not list Powerline adapter on "Attached Devices" list. Can this be a correlation to the problem I am having?
Hi, did you manage any resolution to this problem?
I just bought my R7000P a few days ago and its a great router, but when I tested the internet speeds, I'm getting 49Mbps on my PC via LAN but on 2.4 and 5Ghz I'm only getting around 10Mbps.
I'm in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment so distance is not an issue and I also ran the Netgear WiFi Analytics app and am sitting on the least crowded channels.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Loz
