R8000 Dropping connection to devices.
I purchased a new Nighthawk R8000 (firmware V1.0.4.46) a month ago (April 2020) and I consistently have devices (iPhone, iPad, etc) that keep dropping their connections to the router. The internet ...
I just installed the recommended firmware this morning. I'll report back in a few days when there's enough time to see if the problem has been resolved.
As an update, we still have some dropped connections needing multple password entries, but not as much as before the firmware update. It's not a total solution, but at least its better than before.
Passwords could be just save option on either end, specially if it's only one / two of your nine thousand devices. check Cache settings / remember passwords / etc.
