Bougth NightHawk X8 R8500 a week ago. Did all I wanted to for a week.
Suddenly iphone cannot connect, wants me to reenter 5Ghz-ssid password, again and again.
2.4Ghz not visible anymore.
Restarted the router. Now it seems 5GHz is working, also at the right speed.
2.4GHz is unreliable, sometimes it works, sometimes iphone needs password, sometimes "no internet connection", speeds if working 1.17 Mbps down, was 81.27 Mpps at some point last week (speedtest app iphone). 5Ghz speeds are usually between 180-200.
My network:
Lan with 2 extra switches, DS1812 NAS, 2 window pcs
It was before the update. I did a normal and a 30-30-30 reset without improvement. At some point I even could not login over UTP anymore. After contacting netgear netherlands the device has an RMA number. I hope I am just unlucky. Usually I avoid expensive versions of products because in my experience they are less reliable (smaller production, less feedback / testing, experimental features, more problems) so at this point it feels like i fell for the old “the more expensive, the better” illusion. But we’ll see how the replacement fares.
