R7000P Dropping Internet Connections (Wired and Wireless) Daily
In the last two or three weeks, my R7000P is dropping my internet connection (wired and wireless) at least once a day, only for a minute or two at a time. Sometimes it requires a reboot. Sometimes ...
I'm back to firmware V1.3.2.126_10.1.66.
Somebody please help before I throw this in the trash!

I've been experiencing this same issue, and I know it's not my ISP as I am in a neighborhood FB group where we're all on the same fiber ISP. I'm the only one that keeps complaining about this. The ISP gave me a new POE as well as they let me use an ASUS router for a week and a half, and this never happening using this other router. This is the second Nighthawk router I've purchased in the last few years because of this issue, and I'll be going to ASUS next.
I've been told to try a firmware version of this - 1.0.9.42_10.2.44 as it helped this person: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Nighthawk-R7000-needs-frequent-reboots/td-p/1858022
But I can't find that version or a close version. It could be they aren't on the R7000P but just the R7000? Idk.
I do want to try a reverted older version of the firmware, but not sure which one to go to. But it seems like I've seen a few people mentioning using an older version of the firmware fixed things for them.

I gave up. Nothing worked. Hours of experimenting. Now the proud owner of a TP Link Archer AX3000. It's a little bit of a downgrade in terms of coverage, but it gets the job done. Not one issue like this since.
