R9000 is dropping connections every few min. I replaced the modem because the cable company said it was to slow. Replaced with net gear so I thought it would be compatible to r9000. Other than rebooting I am not sure what else to try. Any suggestions are appreciated.
As a general rule, when you replace a major LAN component like a modem, you should do a firmware default (factory) reset on the router and reconfigure from scratch. Do not import a previous configuration file. It is alright to use the same Wi-Fi SSID's and passwords as previously configured.
