Should I return my Nighthawk D7000v2? Keeps losing internet connection
OK - so a week ago I bought a nice shiny new D0007v2 modem/router (running firware version V1.0.0.56_1.0.1).
Previously I have been using an N300 Netear modem/router for years without any problems at all.
More to the point I have made no changes to either the ISP or my network infrastructure: I have just swapped the modem/router.
The configuration therefore for the internet connection, the WiFi and wired devices is also unchange from before.
-
But now this new D7000v2 keeps losing its internet connection about once a day.
It seems to keep its LAN connection to wired devices but loses everything else.
Also the lights on the modem have not indicated that there has been a connection loss.
-
This time the basic and advanced status information was inconsistent: see attached JPG.
Basic info shows connection lost - advanced info shows it is still connected.
NOTE - Only connected for 11 hours or so because that's the time since the last failure !!
-
So QUESTION - should I return my Nighthawk as defective? Or is there some other explanation for the problem?
Some setting that may need to be different from the N300 which I haven't thought of?
etc.................
