Wifi dropping connections constantly, I have tried everything
I cannot seem to solve this one. I'm just so frustrated that I'm ready to get a new router that isn't Netgear (maybe Ubiquiti/UniFi?). I have been very happy with this rotuer for years, but I just ca...

I am having same problem, it got worse when I did factory reset. on my second on becouse I thought the first one was broke. Now doing same thing. so fustrating. I have tried the ethernet cable route and makes no difference. If I finally get it working it powers off. Ugh!!!!!
Just downgrade to 1.0.9.32. It's been very stable for me.

You can find it here:
