R8000 Drops some wifi connections
For the past few months, my R8000 has been dropping wifi connections. I am running the latest firmware (V1.0.3.36_1.1.25) The devices that drop include laptops, iPhones, and a Samsung media player. What is unique about this is that these devices cannot reconnect until the router is reset. Range or signal obstructions do not appear to be an issue given the size of my house and centralized placement of my router. I performed a factory reset two weeks ago and am still experiencing these issues. Do I really need to roll back to a previous firmware? Doesn't that expose my router to more threats? Is there a way for me to get detailed troubleshooting information? Very upset given the price of this router.Solved5.3KViews0likes8CommentsR7900 5G-2 Band Drops Speed from 200mbps to 2mbps
Hi. Over the past week I've noticed the 5G-2 band on my R7900 will drastically drop speed for no noticeable reason. Last week I change the broadcast channel from 149 to 161, which I thought was the source of the issue. Router did a soft reset after applying new channel setting and speeds went back to normal. Fast forward a week and the same drop in speed happened again. This time I just did a soft reset and left the channel the same. Speed went right back to normal after reset. 2.4G and 5G-1 bands are never impacted when the 5G-2 band is having these issues. I've tested the speeds with multiple devices ~1 foot away from the router. I'm using latest firmware (V1.0.1.4_10.0.12). Any suggestions to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.Solved5.9KViews0likes11CommentsNighthawk R7000 continuously dropping internet connection after firmware update
I updated the firmware yesterday to V1.0.7.2_1.1.93. Since then, the internet connection drops every 10mins to an hour. It reconnects within a minute. The router itself is still up and running, serving both wired and wifi connections. Has anyone seen this? Are there any settings I should tweak? Are there know firmware issues? Thanks.Solved5.6KViews0likes7Comments
