R8000p slow speed lost connections
I purchased the router in September of last year and have not had any complaints. The past two days I have had a bunch of issues though. I have download speeds up to 1200 mbps from my provider and pre...
What modem/gateway are you connected to?
You're firmware isn't the best one. the R8000P got the netgear armor update. Not all played nicely with it. the newer version have helped some. the current one is 1.4.1.68.
Try installing that and then doing a factory reset, reinstall. Don't use a backup configuration.
If that doesn't help, try version 1.4.1.42. It was the version prior to netgear armor. Sometimes it help. If it does, disable auto-updates.
As of now I have tried about 20 firmware updates to both the newest and the one recomended. The router acts like it is taking the update reboots, but the firmware never updates. I have tried a factory reset and update this did not work either. As of now my line speeds are around 680 down but on wifi (same machine) i am getting 1 or 2 MBPS down only. I also only receive 1 or 2 down on 2 other devices in my home.
