Constantly dropping connection over wifi with laptop and android smartphone. The router is unusable at times. It's been like this since the last 2 or 3 firmware updates.
Last week I took my R7000 out of service because I (and especially my gamer kids) were getting sick of randomly losing the internet connection. Would happen 3-4 times every day and last from 20 sec. to 1 minute, then "fix itself". I would always update the firmware when a new one was releaded. The new router that I leased from my ISP has worked flawlessly. My ISP has noted ZERO connection problems with the line running to our house.
So I get the restoring factory default process but can you further explain the manual setup procedure? What specific "things" (DNS, IP address, etc.) will I have to do manually? I'd like to be as prepared as possible should I deceide to go this way.
It sucks having a $250 router (purchased 2 years ago) and it doesn't work reliably!
p.s. it worked fine up until a few months ago. I blamed it on the modem but that wasn't the problem.

I suspect it is a firmware issue too. I'm contemplating flashing the router with Tomato. I've used Tomato on another router, and it's great for a SOHO router. The stock firmware is not useable anymore.
