Nighthawk R7000p
Firmware Version
V1.3.3.148_10.1.82
I bought this back in 2020 I believe because it was stated to be the better router for gaming and such. paid $$$$ for it. very disappointed.
it is now 2022 and the rebooting issue has not disappeared. everyday randomly it reboots every 4-7 hours. I would do a PCAP on it if I was being paid to troubleshoot it but I am not. the log file is useless because every time I log in to extract it; it only shows current logins from point of login till I log out, once I log out and and log back in same issue, only shows from login point of time stamp till I log out. router is defective.
before some NETGEAR person states you should do this and that here is the answer to all that garbage:
I have a AT&T ONT fiber router, since day one, Jan 4 2021 it has not dropped internet or connection, my server has not bee offline not once. so its not my internet connection.
this Nighthawk is setup to govern the kids and such, the small stuff and it reboots often. The Nighthawk is defective and NETGEAR should have issued a recall or when I last posted my issue offered to replace it with something else back in 2021 when I first reported my issue. However they did not so I recommend that people do not purchase the product, and be weary of their future products.
yes I still use this thing because I paid a lot of $$$ for it and have moved it to only govern small stuff like Netflix, Hulu and such so it is only bothersome when we lose connection in the middle of our movie. all the important hardware is connected to the AT&T router.
side note: bandwidth thorough put is not accurate for the specs. at least with this one.
