Netgear C7000v2 Cable Wifi Router Rebooting Itself SOLVED
I purchased the Netgear C7000v2 Cable Wifi Router in early 2019 and the unit would reboot itself randomly for months. I tried everything you could possibly think of from changing every setting to con...
You're talking about thermal paste, right? I wouldn't doubt they use cheap everything. The fan solution works very well. The router stays cool all the time. I wish there were more options for cable router combos on the market. There are very few and they all suck.

I chose to use a 2 box solution. In my case a Netgear modem, which just seems to just work, and a different box for router. Gives more flexibility. Should I want to replace, say the router, I don't have to look for a modem router combo to satisfy my new need. Also, should say the modem part fails, again I got to look for a modem/router solution where with the two box just get a new modem.
Kind of defeats the cable wireless router combo concept don't you think? Like most people I don't want to pay for leasing a modem or buying a seperate cable modem. I also don't want two components cluttering space. Why not just make a product that works? That's what we pay for? I don't by a car so that the steering wheel comes off while I'm driving, right?
Other advantage to the 2 box solution is typically the modem/router combo do not have as feature rich set as a good standalone router. Use one box if that is what makes you happy. I just like being able to swap out one part should I want to.
No I'm not saying tha tyour wrong. I thought the same way, but I just don't want to pay leasing hardware. A good router and seperate cable modem is a bit more costly. I'm tempted to build out my own router and call it day.
