Nighthawk AXE1100 losing internet

Hi, 

hope someone can help. 
I keep losing WiFi on my nighthawk axe1100

I have the most current FW loaded

rebooted the modem and nighthawk.

My internet is with Verizon Fios. I have there modem in bridge mode and changed the IP to be different from the Nighthawk. 
A Verizon tech has changed the exterior equipment because that is what they believed to be the issue. 


Thanks,

what actual router do you have? Nothing you put is the model number.

What firmware are you on? not the "latest"

What ont from verizon is it connected to? 

Does it only happen to wireless devices? Wired are fine

If you leave the G1100 in router mode (disable its wifi) and put the RAXE in access point mode, does it function properly?

It wouldn't be the first "passthrough" mode that didn't function properly. Its one of the reasons I sometimes have people leave the ISP device in router mode (wifi disabled) and put the netgear in access point mode.

Re: Nighthawk AXE1100 losing internet

in regards to putting your primary gateway back in router mode, you'd have to check with your isp. 

For the netgear in access point mode:

just make sure the gateway is back in router mode before putting the netgear in AP mode.

For future reference, Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk RAX WiFi 6 Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
