For the last month+, DNS issues and dropped Wi-Fi (now using R7000P)
Hi all! I've had a horrible experience with my Netgear router(s) lately. I was having DNS issues (now I suspect it might have been a FW update, as it corresponds to roughly the same time the new FW...
Alrighty, I changed from 144 to 149.
I also read a thread to disable mu-mimo. Thoughts on that?

So, I disabled mu-mimo, and my connection is more stable. Instead of every hour, my internet is dropping once in the morning. I let Netgear Genie address it automatically, and after several prompts, Genie is typically able to resolve the issue in one go. But, a brand new router should not be causing this disruption. Any other solutions?
