Why do I have to reboot my R7000 everyday?

[JasonWise]

I recently purchase this router and was SUPER excited about it. At first, everything was GREAT! Zero complaints. Recently though, it has started acting up. I literally have to reboot the router 1-2 times a day. I've gone through all the options and found nothing out of the ordinary. Not sure if it's due to Comcast or not, but it just annoying as hell to hop on the computer to then reaslise that I have to go and power cycle the router everyday.

Usually not, but if you encounter any issues, a factory reset and reconfigure from scratch is recommended

[microchip8]

which firmware version? The only current recommended firmware that is the most trouble-free is .42. Anything above is a mess

Oh and some more details. 

ISP: Comcast

Modem: Arris SurfBoard Docsis 3.1 SB8200

Router: R7000

Issues: I have to reboot daily because at some point I will not be able to browse any websites, my wireless will drop and the devices I use on wireless won't see ther SSID period. Now what's odd as hell is that dispite not being able to connect to the wireless or surifng sites, I can load up World of Warcraft just fine.

Firmware Version
V1.0.9.88_10.2.88

Downgrade to version .42 https://www.netgear.com/support/product/R7000#download

Firmware Version 1.0.9.42 correct?

[microchip8]

Yes, that's the most recommended/stable one. Later ones also remove features so NG can have space on the Flash chip for Armor

[JasonWise]

Okay thanks. Now as far as flashing an order version. There would be no issues when doing that?

Since I downgraded to the .42 FW I haven't had any issues. Knock on wood. I'll post again in about a week. Thanks!
