- that makes sense Mike!

Anyway..I going to buy r8000 and look for additional warranty
thank you !!!
I have exactly the same opinion about R8000 router. Router needs restart every couple weeks. Maybe the newest firmware will help.
What ISP service do you have? DSL or cable?
What ISP modem Mfr and Model# do you have?
What FW version are you using currnetly?
If you decide to update FW, manually download the FW file. Use IE11 or FF and clear all browser caches before and after loading FW. Factory reset once more after the FW file is processed, then set up from scratch.

Hi
My ISP is Comcast, download speeds up to 75 Mbps. I have cable modem, model Motorola SB6121. I installed the newest firmware 1.0.3.46_1.1.32. Meybe will help.
I needed restart router every 3-4 weeks. I have HDD connected to router. I'm sure this is not modem issue it is something wrong with router. After a 3 weeks download/updload speed is decreasing from 20Mb/s to 3-4Mb/s from HDD. HDD is connected by USB 2.0. Also is decreasing speed from internet. Restart helps.
Thank you.
Is QoS and IPv6 disabled on the router?
