Nighthawk X6S AC4000 R8000P-Lose internet connection every other day
From November 16, 2017 until today (Jan. 19, 2018) my Netgear router, model R8000P Nighthawk X6S Tri-band has lose internet connection every other day. To get it back I have to unplug the router, plu...
Just an update on my lose internet connection isssues; as of Friday Jan 26, the Dlink router hasn't lost any connection at all. I've disabled the Dlink router, enabled the Netgear X6S R8000P router back in service, downgraded a previous version of the fimrware, and as of Friday afternoon (Jan 26) until the present Sunday Jan 28 at 12:30 AM, the Netgear hasn't lose connection either. The following gives instructions on how to download, the new firmware to your router. Do not upgrade using a wireless connection. Go to Netgear Support page; sign in; click on Download; enter he Product name or model number; Next page, right side Firmware/software; click on the down arrow "v"; and look for firmware V1.1.4.6
This is the version that's working for my router right now,wihout losing internet connections. Aslo keep in mind, this is for the Netgear X6S AC4000 model R8000P router.
This is too funny... For my R8000P, I experience the dropping issue every hour on the hour. Lasts for just a minute or two and occurs on all devices whether connected by wifi or wired.
Current firmware is: 1.3.0.8
Router wants to update to: 1.3.0.10_1.2.2
This weekend I am going to upgrade the FW to 1.3.0.10_1.2.2 and monitor. If that doesn't resolve, I am going to downgrade to 1.1.4.6_1.1.85 and then monitor.
Does anyone feel that I should take a different route?
Problem continued with 1.3.0.10_1.2.2 upgrade for me, so I reverted back to the 1.1.4.6_1.1.85 'stable' version until I see an upgrade that doesn't 'break' the router.
I have this issue as well. I reset my router almost daily. I have actually set up a TP Link Smart Plug on a schedule to shut off power to the router twice a day for 1 minute. So annoying.
I have issues with all of my netgear products (Router, Modem, Arlo). It may be time to switch brands. Would love to see a fix for this though, I've only owned this router for a few months. Just been living with the issue.
