R7800 looses looses Static IP setup
My two year old R7800 randomly loses my ISP’s static IP address setup. I have had up times of as much as 2 weeks, but lately it is likely a couple of hours. I have reset the R7800 and manually entered the setup repeatedly. The WI-FI setup and rest of the router setup is still in memory OK. Just he static setup is gone, which means a trip to my remote location. Any help appreciated.

You might wanna try Voxel's firmware. It's stock firmware with bug fixes and improvements. Later NETGEAR firmware versions have made this router unreliable.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

I too would recommend the Voxel firmware. I have been using it for several years with outstanding results. If you do not like it, it is easy to go back to Netgear stock firmware.
