My AX4 router has, more and more frequently, been losing the network. What I mean is, the WiFi stops broadcasting, and even if I connect directly to the router by Ethernet, I am unable to connect. This lasts until I reboot the router. The router is on the latest firmware. Has anyone run across this before? I'm having serious doubts about Netgears product quality. The router is only 8 months old.
Same here. Last update was the start of troubles. Every week WiFi connection jams a couple of times. Only reset works. But only for a couple of days. Please release new update.
Or even reinstalling the firmware on it? maybe something corrupt. A factory reset doesn't fix corrupt firmware since it just removes settings.
another option is to actually downgrade the version of firmware you on. Maybe it has a bug specific to your situation. Thats where you can try a downgrade.
Cloud you please tell me if there’s an update coming soon? All over the www people are complaining about this. I think it’s a good router but software is very buggy.
Thanks. I tried a factory reset, and it seems to work better for now. If it starts acting up again I'll try downgrading the firmware. Hopefully Netgear comes out with better firmware soon. For the record, it is connected to an Arris Surfboard modem SB6141. Firmware version V1.0.3.80_1.0.1

Same here! Just spent 2hrs with tech support trying everything under the sun, ended up downgrading the firmware. Wireless is still slow. I can't even join a Zoom video conference anymore and streaming services drop out after a few minutes. Im getting 100MB to the Modem and Ethernet is fine. It's the wireless they need to sort out, and quickly!
Seriously Negear - sort this out before I make sure this thing gets a 0 star review on every website I can think of.
Don't release a firmware if all it does is cause problems Netgear!
Well after a week of working, or at least not failing when I was around to observe it, the router resumed its bad habits. The only thing that changed was I did some IP reservations and port forwarding that I had been holding off on while waiting to see if it messed up again. I don't know if that triggered it, but the screwups started the next morning. I have since downgraded the firmware. I'll let you know if it messes up again.

I had the same problem. Downgraded the Software but first time I didn't stop the automatic software update. So the problem recurred. I downgraded the software again and stopped the automatic update and the problem has not recurred since. Great help. Thank you.
