R8000P dropping wifi connection
Hello, I own a Nighthawk X6S (R8000P) and I've been having an ongoing issue where after I've been surfing via wifi for some time the wifi connection will remain active however there is no data up/dow...
So I updated to Firmware V1.4.0.10 5 days ago. So far no internet drops :smileyhappy:
Haven't tried installing my USB hardrive to see if network storage works again. Just updating everyone.
I hve the same problem for my new R8000P. Is there any way to set the router reboot it self by daily or weekly? I have tryed everything I can but still have to unplug the power cable to let router reconnect to the internet. This is my second router brout from Staples, I don't thing return and exchange will help. Any other solutions?

Fortunately, since I replaced my original R8000P with another R8000P, I haven't had any issues, but I still reboot the router daily. As I consider it a computer, which, in reality, it is, rebooting isn't necessarily a bad thing. That being said, I don't think there's a way for the router to reboot itself. I use a digital timer, much like this, and set it to shut off for one minute every night.
