Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk Gaming Router products.

Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

I have contacted my ISP and made sure there are no problems their end. I have also factory reset the router in previous weeks. I have phoned up netgear support and they want to charge me to diagnose this fault hence why I am posting here. I am also using the most recent firmware version V2.3.2.130
If anybody has any suggestion they would be very welcome! Thanks in advance :)
