Nighthawk R7000 - Factory Reset Questions
I'm having annoying frequent WiFi issues. The router just drops all WiFi at times. Internet and wired devices remain OK. Nothing at all shows up in the logs so it's useless. Bought it new Nov. 2020 s...
Finished the reset. Manually re-set all the various settings vs. using a saved config file. During the reset it checked for a firmware update but said NO updates available. Huh? Is this normal? Ignore it and update anyway?
Why would the device not see updates are available?

Don't get hung up about auto updates. You are better off manually checking yourself by just Googling R7000 firmware updates and it will take you to the Netgear download page for the model. I check monthly. I've done six firmware updates since buying my own router in February 2020 all problem free.
Thanks. I was going to do the update this afternoon after wife finishes work (remote worker) but apparently it auto-updated overnight. So far everything works. Sure hope the reset and/or update solves the WiFi issues.
I call this issue resolved.
