R8000 - connectivity issues
Hi Team X6 R8000 router 4MKC997AA02AC Firmware V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 Internet speed test "Good", phone app shows111.33 down, 9.8 up Panel lights: Power: Solid white Internet: flashing white 2.4: ...
from the downgraded version. Once downgraded, then do the factory reset/reinstall. Reason why is old settings can cause issues when switching between firmwares.
What modem is it connected to?
Try installing version 1.0.4.28 of the firmware over a hardwired connection, then do a factory reset and a clean install (not from backup). Then disable auto-updates and try it. the newer versions have netgear armor and some devices struggled with armor
Hi Plemans
The router is connected to a Virgin media 3.0 hub running in modem mode.
I assume you mean do a factory reset first and then update firmware via a hard wired connection?
install that version of firmware, then do the factory reset and clean install
Factory reset and firmware updated to latest but no change.
Unable to maintain a connection on either 2.5 or 5, or combined.
Only the guest network works and holds a connection on 2.4.
Hard wired Ethernet connections also fine - 110Mbs
The logs are a bit odd, it seems that the firmware resets the time back to Dec 21st 2020
and then the time gets re-sync'd (read bottom up):
