I called Tech support and they sound like they've heard about this issue a lot but they have no idea what to do. Felt sorry for the guy - not his fault.
I have seen so many people complaining about this issue and have spent hours reading everyone's complaints and no one who has found a solution. I really really really really regret buying this EXPENSIVE router. I am reading posts that date back a few years and the issue is still happening! I will never buy netgear again. I am warning all my friends and family not to buy netgear either. This is ridiculous.
Wifi drops multiple times throught out the day using the Nighthawk AX80
It might help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
There isn't a modem in front of the router. Also forgot to mention - my ISP provides a generic router that doesnt drop but doesnt have the same range. Which is why I bought the nighthawk.. for wider range.
I am NOT using the generic router along with the netgear router. As i mentioned, I was using the generic router but wanted longer range so I bought the netgear to use instead of the generic router.
Thanks for checking though. I understand that would certainly add unnecessary jumps and possible collision activity. So any thoughts on what I could try?
