R9000 Nighthawk Randomly looses signal in 2.4 but not 5
I have a R9000 AD7200Smart Wifi router and have hgad nothing but issues since I got this thing.
I have a Fiber internet going straight into the router and use a few lan connections but mainly Wifi ...
Dropping connections has been reported by a number of people, and there are numerous threads about dropping connections after "upgrading" to 1.0.4.12. You can either go back to a previous firmware version, or request to be included in the beta firmware test group, and use Netgear's beta firmware.
I had a lot of dropout probems with 1.0.4.12, but I am getting really good results with the latest beta firmware (v1.0.4.26).
SScandy have you got the access to the R9000 Beta group? Strongly encourage to request your access by PM to ChristineT or Christian_R - worth every effort. Then grab the Beta firmware, and review often as there are regular updates posted.
schumaku, Yes, I am a member of the beta test group. Maybe you misread what I wrote in my post above, but I responded that I have tried Beta v1.0.4.26, and I am no longer experiencing the dropouts that I had with v1.0.4.12.
Hello, Nighthawk R9000 Enthusiasts,
Wishing you all a prosperous 2019! :-)
SScandy, Thank you for confirming your experience with this beta firmware version! That's great news! For anyone else in this thread that still needs access to the Beta Firmware and Beta Community please feel free to private message me.
