Range Reduction on Nighthawk R7000
Hello, I've had the R7000 for about 1 year now and it has performed with excellence. Within the past few weeks however I've noticed a very weak wireless signal when moving far away from the route...
Have you tried changing Wi-Fi channels? You can use the desktop version of Netgear's Genie app or free downloads like Vistumbler, Acrylic Wi-Fi, or Airport Utility to survey the Wi-Fi networks around to find the least congested channel.
This was very useful, thank you very much!
If changing channels worked, then maybe a neighbour has recently started using the same channel and their wifi is messing up yours.
I mention this so that you can keep an eye open for the next time this happens.
Can you see competing wifi channels?
