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.
Hello,
New to this board. I recently purchased this a few days ago. Upon setup for the first time, I updated the firmware to the most recent version. I began to notice the symptoms described on earlier posts, occuring about 1 day apart.
Recently I performed a factory reset, and re-applied all of the settings I had before, which was a pain, but now done.
I am now in day 2 and so far the connections have held. My setup is pretty much out-of-the-box setup, except that I use Netgear's version of MAC filtering called "Access Control". If anything changes I'll report in, but those still experiencing the issue after the firmware was applied, should try the same factory reset to see if there is an improvement.
Just an update to my Jul 7, 2018 post. The router has been up for 6 straight days without an issue and I have not had to reboot once. So if anyone hasn't tried this, it's probably best to give it a try to see if it stabilizes the router properly.

Glad you are having success. For the rest it would be helpful to know what you mean by "is anyone hasn't tried this". What is this? Firmware, if so what version? Setting what settings? I paged back some and did not see where you stated the firmware version you were having success with.
Recently sold my black doorstop. Maybe too soon.
In my case, I decided, after upgrading to the current firmware, to perform a factory reset, which was inconvenient. After the reset, I power off, then powered it back on. I re-applied all of my router settings, which mostly consisted of "Access Control" (MAC fitlering).
So far, 6 days has passed with no issue.

Since Netgear is releasing "fixes" almost daily to say current means nothing from a Version standpoiint. Do not see in the link you provided a firmware version. What is so hard about just providing what firmware version number you are running so all folks know?
