Hi mark776 , out of curiosity, what router model did you bought? Did it solved the issues you had with your r7500v2?
I bought a tp-link ax3000 that was on sale. Yes, it fixed the problem, but as a note, a 10+ year belkin router i had laying around also made the problem go away. I do not know what caused the problem(hardware or firmware), but i got tired of messing with it and it went into the trash. I feel the nighthawk should have had a number of years life left, but with the lack of support, it is time to try another manufacturer.
