    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.

I did not see new FW update on website for R8000P. The most updated one was v.1.03.10, last Updated:01/28/2018.

Wonder where you found the newest FW version just so recently?

I guess I mistook the e-mail to download the new app that updates firmware as a new version being available. Ignore my comment.

      Good to see you back. How are you doing with your router?? Please update me as I am thinking they are coming up soon with something good.

        Hi Terry,
        Ever since I downgraded the firmware the routers wifi connection has not dropped. I haven't had to reboot the router. Disappointed that I can't use the USB for network storage. Stuck it out hoping that netgear was going to release an updated firmware to fix the issues we are all having.
