A7000 Losing connection several times a day.
My A7000 Nighthawk that is under 2 years old is constantly losing connection or has increadibly high ping. The blue light starts blinking or just doesn't search for new connections to where I have to...
I have this issue periodically with the 7800 model and I paid around 180 dollars for it. After extensive testing, since I've had it for so long and have had numerous issues with it, is when I change my DNS servers I immediately gain internet access back.
Every time I run into this issue, I change the DNS Servers to either automatically detect, and when i get the connectivity issues, I change to the Google DNS Servers. When it happens on the Google DNS, i switch back to auto. I always get internet service back immediately when I do this.
There has to be something wrong with resolving DNS. I am not educated enough to dig deeper.

There's no such animal as an A7800 that I can find.
If you mean the R7800 that's a router. The A7000 is a USB adapter for wifi. $180 for one of them would be amazingly expensive.
