Re: RS600 Internet dropping out consistently
Having the same or similar issue with devices connecting to WiFi 7 and in mid use dropping connection to WiFi and going to mobile data.
Other devices that are not WiFi 7 are now no longer able to see the 2.4 or 5 WiFi .
I have been using the Netgear Smart Connect okay for about a month then with no changes to the router it stopped working one day.
I am running latest firmware, have armour subscription.
Never had a problem with my Mikrotiks or Fortigates so finding this product to be disappointing so far.
