Re: Netgear Nighthawk RS300
My Nighthawk RS300 router has been acting ever since the firmware updated to v1.0.1.60, in 2024 wifi and internet gave me no problems, but ever since 2025 started my wifi just randomly disconnects and...
In the case where devices cannot access the internet but can access the router's Web GUI:
* check the Internet LED on the front panel, is it white, amber, or off?
* If the LED is not off, go to the Connect Status window from the Web GUI (a button on the Internet Port tile on the Advanced tab / Dashboard), check if there is IP address assigned? perform Release / Renew or Disconnect / Connect to see if the connect gets restored.
* check the Internet LED on the front panel, is it white, amber, or off? White
* If the LED is not off, go to the Connect Status window from the Web GUI (a button on the Internet Port tile on the Advanced tab / Dashboard), check if there is IP address assigned? There is an IP assigned.
I have done this and it connects successfully, but some 20 mins or so it disconnects again. I think the longest it has gone so far without issues is about a night and then it starts having issues again.

- Looks like NG dropped the ball with the new updates, slowing down all routers n now they’re having problems. My rs300 is having connection issues and nothing i do is fixing it I’m going to go back to a AC1900 at this point that night hawk router never gave me issues in 10 years. This new wifi 7 rs300 is already having problems after only 4 months, I’m disappointed NG.
- Yes I have just waiting for a reply hopefully they give me a RMA code, because I have only had this router for 4 months and its acting up this badly, it was working fine for the first two months then all of a sudden starting acting up in Feb. Before the RS300 I had an older model of the nighthawk AC1900 and that one lasted 9 years before it started acting up. I hope i get the RMA ^_^
