R7000 Won't accept SSID/PW without cycling power

Over the past several weeks, on a near daily basis, the router periodically stops accepting our SSID and password credentials.  It impacts all connected devices and requires cycling power to resolve.  Once power has been restored the router works fine, until it happens again.  Changing the SSID and/or password has had no lasting impact.  Firmware is current.

   Says who?  As always, an actual version number would be more useful
than your opinion of what's "current" today.

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads.  (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".)  Find the kit(s).
Download the kit(s) you want.  Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:
