Re: nighthawk r6700v2 losing internet connection periodically

I am experiencing the same type of connectivity issues described herein and I would like assistance. My router drops connectivity intermittently and I am unable to connect even via a hard wired desktop. I am running Firmware Version V1.2.0.16_1.0.1. Power cycling the router fixes the issue, but the issue reproduces itself. 

 

My Case Number is 30012881

Do you have any Amcrest IP cameras (or similar devices) on your home network?  If so, disconnect them for a while and see if your router stays online.  If that's your problem... you can configure the cameras to use your ISP DNS addresses instead of the netgear router IP and that should fix it.

I don't have any IP cameras on my network either, just a WeMo smart plug which didn't have any issues with the last firmware I was on.
