R8000P dropping wifi connection
Hello, I own a Nighthawk X6S (R8000P) and I've been having an ongoing issue where after I've been surfing via wifi for some time the wifi connection will remain active however there is no data up/down being transmitted. Further when attempting to go to 192.168.1.1 and I enter my username and password the entire page will not load entirely.. It just sits there for several minutes before it finally appears. It's also worth noting that I used the app to connect to my router and I tried a router reboot remotely, and it never rebooted the router.. I had to do it manually. I have Centurylink Fiber 1G going directly from my ONT into the WAN port on the router. I then have a Netgear Nighthawk switch that handles all my wired devices. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I recently replaced my prior wifi system with a new X10 router which is working well. I added an X6S to bring ethernet access to a few components at an enternaiment center. I'm in a 2500 sq ft. house. I've setup the X6S router 2 different times, using WPS or the web setup and it connects to both the 2.5G and 5G networks correctly. After a few minutes it lights up with all white LED's including the "fast wifi" light. The componenents I connect via wifi (xbox, set top box, sonos playbar and media streamer) I then start having massive issues with the rest of the wifi network. my macbook, cell phone and other items are disconnected and I receive errors "another device is using your IP address" on my macbook. Device connectivity to the ethernet ports on the router is intermittment, some of the devices cannot obtain an IP address. I appreciate any guidance or assistance. I'm not having the experience I would expect after purchasing two flagship products.Solved2.7KViews0likes4Comments
