R8000P dropping wifi connection
Hello, I own a Nighthawk X6S (R8000P) and I've been having an ongoing issue where after I've been surfing via wifi for some time the wifi connection will remain active however there is no data up/dow...
So I updated to Firmware V1.4.0.10 5 days ago. So far no internet drops :smileyhappy:
Haven't tried installing my USB hardrive to see if network storage works again. Just updating everyone.
New user in the UK with exactly the same problems.
In my case my router is connected to a Netgear DM200 Broadband modem, but otherwise I get the same connection drops on either WiFi or wired.
Have tested everything replacing the R8000P with an old low end TPLink router and no problems with connection from my devices or access to the internet.
I wish I had seen this post before ordering, I am still in the return period so concluding that I should probably return the product rather than downgrade Firmware.
