Random disconnects.

Re: Random disconnects.
I did see some very good improvement (with the 2.4g channels completely dropping and reconnecting multiple times in an hour) when I did the new install of the new FW and followed the very strict instructions on how to reset the router correctly... that issue totally stopped and verified with a wi-fi analyzer App....
but then, after I did the above, I had a different issue... the R7000 disconnects from the internet from the cable modem... at first I thought it was the cable modem... cable company worked with me... even replaced the cable modem... same issues... so we isolated it to the R7000... that is when I got instructions from VZW to change the MTU...
after I did the change, which was about 5-7 days ago, I have only dropped the internet connection once (my MTU is set at 1400 as I previously stated).... so that is an improvement too... but I am NOT happy about all of the above and I dont think it has been really fixed... so am keeping the case open until it is for sure fixed... and may need to go out and purchase the new Asus AC router... checking their user forum... there are VERY few issues with it.... hardly any forum posts on any issues...
I like Netgear stuff... but am rather upset with this issue not getting fixed yet... as we are all still having issues....
Thoughts anyone? :confused:

I know I'm only one person but I arrived at the R7000 AFTER buying the Asus. I tried the Asus first and after a couple of days of fighting with dropped DNS requests and packet loss on the 2.4Ghz band, I sent it back...

Re: Random disconnects.
I started on this message board when I bought my first WNDR3700. That router had A LOT of issues.
We here on the forum worked on them together, worked with Netgear, and finally got firmware that worked.
That was FOUR years ago. And the reason why I'm hear now is because I bought an R7000 to replace that 3700.
Yes, it was THAT reliable.

Re: Random disconnects.
Hate to but will probably go back to the old other brand router, it is slow but does not drop.

Do you have any experience with ReadyNAS?

Re: Random disconnects.
The dropping of the internet is experienced on each of my computers: XP, 7 and 8.

WNDR3700v4 wrote: I still have the same dropping problem. My first WNDR3700v4 was replaced by NG after spending 3 hours on the phone with NG service. NG sent me a new WNDR3700v4 and it ran fine for 1.5 months and now it is dropping the internet about 3 times an hours. My charter modem is not dropping the internet, all lights are normal with the drop, it has to be the R3700.

Why are we hearing about R3700 disconnects in this R7000 thread? Or did you mean you're having disconnects with your R7000?

That said, it's not impossible that ReadyShare triggers or exacerbates the issue.

Re: Random disconnects.
I'm using V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 and experiencing random internet disconnects a few times a day. This problem started a couple weeks ago. 1.0.5.62 sounds like a downgrade from 1.0.6. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of these version strings? Would you recommend I try switching to this beta 1.0.5.62 if my current firmware seems higher than that?

Re: Random disconnects.
Yes, it IS a downgrade. NG pulled all V1.0.5 and V1.0.6 beta F/W as they gave a lot of people problems. Stablized the code and removed Arlo support and re-issued it as V1.0.5.60 and now the new one at https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-Beta-FW-1-0-5-62/m-p/1078114#M31145. After you install the beta RESET the router and MANUALLY re-enter the settings. Should solve your problem possibly.
