R7000 Stops Connecting to the Internet

>>Recently, and sporadically I cannot do a standard connection to the Internet via web browsers using Window PCs or Android smart phones.

>>I also cannot login to the router at 192.168.1.1 (no response). I can Ping it.
>>I can, however connect between all devices Wired/Wifi on my LAN.
>>I can connect to my Modem with a browser.
>>I can also connect to the Internet, with a browser, if I use a VPN.
>>Powering the router off/on resolves the problem.
>>I have looked at the Log file, but see nothing that happens at the time the "incident".
>>I have added a new windows laptop to my LAN and I am very (70% certainly) suspicious that it is causing the problem.
>>All PCs, except one, have the latest Windows 10 build. The other is a Windows 7 machine.
>>Router version V1.0.9.18_1.2.27
>>What information am I missing? How can I monitor the router's history to see what is going on?

Thanks

  • I purchased a R7000P Netgear Nighthawk AC2300. It crashed on my LAN as well, and I returned it.
  • I then connected up my old Netgear WNR3500L V2 -- Flashed with Tomato-Shibby -- and it worked fine for the two weeks I had it connected.
  • I have now flashed my R7000 router with Tomato-Shibby "tomato-R7000-ARM--132-AIO-64K".
  • This has stopped the router from crashing. It has been more than 3 weeks without any problems.
  • The fact that the R7000 and R7000P both crashed tells me that  base firmware has an issue.
  • I'll stick with Tomato, but will really have to think hard about what my next router purchase will be!

There have been a lot of complaints about V1.0.9.18_1.2.27. I think Netgear is working on new firmware. You might want to downgrade to an older version until it's ready.

Are you using the 2.4ghz band? There's been lots of issues lately with it, 5ghz has been working fine though...
