R7000 problem
Hi guys,
I have an R7000 modem router, connected via WAN to another modem router (broadband modem)
A few weeks ago I had a problem, the internet led was flashing fast from white to orange.
I did a hard reset and the problem disappeared, now it's back, I can surf the internet.
If I use the android app, it tells me it's offline...
Do I have to do a new hard reset? or is there a hardware problem?
the firware installed is V1.0.10.90_10.2.90
If I buy a new router, can I use the R7000 configuration file to configure the new router?

I'd try different (older or newer) firmware before condemning the

exactly, is your (unspecified) "another modem router"? Or is it
actually a "(broadband modem)"? If it is (or includes) a router:Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Set Up the Router as
a WiFi Access Point".
