Nighthawk R7000 keeps restarting
So I bought this router about a week ago to replace a router that just couldn't handle all the devices we have. It worked fine the first two days and then started rebooting every now and then, the re...
It could be the router or the power supply. Better to take it back to the store and swap it out for a new one.
I am running 17 devices off mine without problems for over two years. Best to get a new one and update the firmware to 1.0.7.10 and not change the firmware again unless you have problems that a newer version of firmware fixes or there is a security fix. There is always risk in changing firmware.
Also did you do a reset after changing firmware?
Quick question planning on returning and swapping for a new one tomorrow morning but would you suggest when I install the latest firmware on the new one I reset it after installing?
Absolutely yes. Many problems can occur after a firmware change if a proper reset is not done.
Press the reset button on the back of the router for about 10 seconds until the power light turns orange and starts to blink.
