R7800 restarts
Nitehawk x4s R7800 frequently restarts. It will lose connection wired and wireless, power light goes amber, and it will boot up and connect without me doing a thing. I've read thru old, closed post....
Did this start after upgrading to .76?
- It's been happening for months and becoming more frequent. I'm not sure if it started w/ the .76 firmware I thought the modem/service was the problem only became aware of the router issue in the last month or so.
I rolled back to .46 firmware which was recommended and it was fine for a week or so then same thing.In my case reverting to version 1.0.2.68 solved the problem.

Ok so awhile back what I did was factory reset by holding a toothpick in the reset button for half a minute just to be extra sure. When it asks you to update to the latest firmware (.76) I said yes.
Now here's the kicker: do NOT restore your saved settings. Put them in manually one by one.
I haven't had any issues at all now. You can see my past posts that .76 was giving me lots of problems until I did this (I discussed it in several threads, not just this one.)
