Rif.: Nighthawk Rs200 - no WIFI after Reboot - Internet via LAN ok

Same issue here. I'm dealing with RS200 and firmware v1.0.1.60, and every time I reboot the router (by detaching the electrical plug), the WiFi disappears and the only way to make it work again is a factory reset. This behavior is almost systematic, so every time the electricity power grid goes off and on, I know the WiFi won't work anymore. For this reason, for now I switch back to an older router, but this episode is pretty unpleasant, especially considering this router in the high-end family of Netgear routers.

 

 

I don't know if this is meaningful, but I had configured the DCHP to work on address range that does not overlap to static IPs, and I haven't altered any option related to WiFi.

  • Recommend you open a support ticket regarding this and see if support can help you out. Might ask about an RMA.

      Fortunately, they have released an update (the 1.0.1.74), I'm going to test if it solves my problem.
