C7000 – Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router--Losing connection once a day requiring full reset

[Zoroast78]

Hello,

I purchased my modem in August 2015 and it was working fine unitl  June 2015 timeframe when I started experiencing minor connection issues (internet drops for few minutes).  However, now it completely drops once a day and the only way to correct it is to unplug the modem from the power source and to reconnect it.  I did submit a warranty form to NetGear, but no one contacted me back in June-July timeframe.  I am very diappointed with this product, which I bought through Amazon and I think I should go back to give it a low ranking.  Additionally, I can't even find the firmware for this product to reload it to see it that would fix it.  One problem that I noticed was that the region is set for Europe and is greyed out, but the box does not indicate that it was a European version.  Please assist if you can prior to my anger taking over with what appears to be an over-priced and underperformed Netgear product.  Thanks

Hello Zoroast78

Are you seeing any errors happening on the modem when it drops out you can look in the logs if so could you post them here.
