R7800 keeps dropping its Internet connection
My router (R7800 Nighthawk) is updated to firmware 1.0.2.92. I have a TP-Link EAP 110 Outdoor access Point connected to it, and a KuWfi 300Mbs bridge connected to a 8 port gigabit switch. I also have...
Hi all - I just wanted to report back after monitoring the system for the last 24 hours +.

Thank you all so much for your help in troubleshooting this, and I am very happy that the R7800 now seems to be doing the job I hoped it would. Cheers
Be sure and report back after you get some hours on your new configuration.

It is good to hear you have things working as expected.
Now that you have your feet wet with the R7800, you need to check out the firmware from Voxel here:
https://www.voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/Voxel/html/index.html - check under X4S.
Be sure and review the README information at the top right.
If you have any Netgear warranty left on your device, installing Voxel will make it void.

Thanks for the info - I'll check it out. Much appreciated
