RS600 dropping connection, rebooting randomly...
I've had this RS 600 and it's been terrible. Very inconsistent wifi speeds, I tried manually changing channels, and the 5g line kept dropping out. Then today, the entire router crashed and was ...
I went the cheaper route and tried a RS200 but have similar problems. I can recreate the problem 100% which basically hangs the router and then there is a 5 minute wait before the router reboots itself.
I've just bought a RS200 to replace my R7800 | NETGEAR Communities
Netgear support are allegedly working on my problem but progress is slow.
How do you recreate this? - I want to know to be able to NOT do this, because it's happening during business calls.
Click the link on my previous reply and it goes to my support ticket where it explains the recreation scenario.
Basically, go to http://broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk and download the phone version of the app (not the PC/web version). Use the phone app to check the WiFi speed (the speed between the phone and the router as well as the broadband speed) and that will hang the router.
I think other things cause it to hang but using the phone app is 100% recreatable for me so I can see if they've managed to fix it - which they haven't.
I've given up and the router is being returned.
Given the level of "experimental firmware" you're running I assume you're talking to Netgear support and have signed the NDA for them to give you the firmware ... you probably shouldn't mention the firmware levels on here.
No NDA given.
