Random disconnects.
I bought an R7000 about a week ago now. My other router kept going wonky on me, could not take any load for any amount of time and was generally a miserable experience. Now, for my problem with th...
Thanks bonecows... I think you may be on to something.... I really believe it is a R7000 issue(s) as well.... I just hate to go out and purchase a different router to see if all of my issues go away... (1) because of the cost and (2) the effort to set it up and hook everything to it... but am close to having to do just that.
I did see some very good improvement (with the 2.4g channels completely dropping and reconnecting multiple times in an hour) when I did the new install of the new FW and followed the very strict instructions on how to reset the router correctly... that issue totally stopped and verified with a wi-fi analyzer App....
but then, after I did the above, I had a different issue... the R7000 disconnects from the internet from the cable modem... at first I thought it was the cable modem... cable company worked with me... even replaced the cable modem... same issues... so we isolated it to the R7000... that is when I got instructions from VZW to change the MTU...
after I did the change, which was about 5-7 days ago, I have only dropped the internet connection once (my MTU is set at 1400 as I previously stated).... so that is an improvement too... but I am NOT happy about all of the above and I dont think it has been really fixed... so am keeping the case open until it is for sure fixed... and may need to go out and purchase the new Asus AC router... checking their user forum... there are VERY few issues with it.... hardly any forum posts on any issues...
I like Netgear stuff... but am rather upset with this issue not getting fixed yet... as we are all still having issues....
Thoughts anyone? :confused:
