Hello,
I have no problems in the 2.4 and 5 GHz band, the router is already two weeks without anny trubbels, I have the latest firmware installed steps:
1. router to default settings
2. FW installed (76)
3. routern to default settings after upgrade
4. router reset
No problems with connection issue; stable:D
Any update from Netgear on this?
It seems there are dozens and dozens (if not hundreds) of people who are having the same exact class of problem.
Should we all send our routers back for RMA? Mine is less than 6 months old.
Is there some way for us to escalate this issue.
As of today, this is happening about every 10-15 minutes then I have to reset my router to get back on. This applies to wired and wireless.
Needless to say, it's just about useless and I am very much losing faith in this hardware when I can't use my desktop, laptop, tablets, phones, or XBOX.

I have an R7500 and the wifi is fast and rock solid. So the router can work properly. Netgear themselves advise that when you update to v1.0.0.94 that you should do a factory reset of the modem, as the config parameters are different. Have you tried this? You need to press and hold the reset button for at least 5 seconds (but better to do 30 secs to be really sure). When modem reboots, everything should be wiped, and you're back to initial default wifi signal and password, etc. The reconfigure and see if the issue remains.
