Why do I have to reboot my R7000 everyday?
I recently purchase this router and was SUPER excited about it. At first, everything was GREAT! Zero complaints. Recently though, it has started acting up. I literally have to reboot the router 1-2 times a day. I've gone through all the options and found nothing out of the ordinary. Not sure if it's due to Comcast or not, but it just annoying as hell to hop on the computer to then reaslise that I have to go and power cycle the router everyday.
Usually not, but if you encounter any issues, a factory reset and reconfigure from scratch is recommended

which firmware version? The only current recommended firmware that is the most trouble-free is .42. Anything above is a mess
Firmware Version
V1.0.9.88_10.2.88- microchip8Master
Downgrade to version .42 https://www.netgear.com/support/product/R7000#download
Click on the + sign at bottom left to expand the menu and download the firmware
Oh and some more details.
ISP: Comcast
Modem: Arris SurfBoard Docsis 3.1 SB8200
Router: R7000
Issues: I have to reboot daily because at some point I will not be able to browse any websites, my wireless will drop and the devices I use on wireless won't see ther SSID period. Now what's odd as hell is that dispite not being able to connect to the wireless or surifng sites, I can load up World of Warcraft just fine.
