R8000p issues
I purchased this router 4 months ago and it recently started having an issue with this unit dropping signal, every time this happens it has to be unplugged and plugged back in. I have noticed this is an ongoing issue with netgear . Anyone have any recommendations on how to fix this issue?
If you're within your warranty, I'd start the rma process with it.
click "mynetgear" at the top. register an account and the device. from there you can start the rma process.

Is it only wireless dropping?
If only wireless, its it 2.4ghz, 5ghz?
What firmware is on it?
- No the router just stops all internet services and anything hardwired or wireless stops working. I call my ISP and was assured nothing was wrong On their end. Currently running Version 1.4.1.50

Try installing version 1.4.1.64 over a hardwired connection.
Then factory reset it and do a clean install. (not from backup)
