Repeater slows down every couple fo days - needs reboot
Hardware Version: WN2000RPTv3 Firmware Version: V1.0.1.26 I have not upgraded to V1.0.1.4 because as I usnderstand it its only a GUI change. I've had this range extender for a bit over 1 year. While it works, its works fine. However, over the past 6 mos or so I've been batling a sluginesh that builds up over just a few days - 3~5. at that time it goes to a crawl - I could walk the bits over to the corresponding web site faster. I've read a number of similar issues and possible solutions. I have applied some of these changes to it based on recommendations I've read: fixed IP within my network, firmware update. Thats really I all I know to do so far. The only solution I have so far is to reboot it evey 2~3 days to get the right speed back. Obviously this is not how this is supposed to work. I'd probably be happy if lacking any real Netgear solution I could have it reboot automatically evey night... That said - any additional recommendations?

AC3200 rebooting issues
I am having an issue with my Router rebooting all the time. This happened since downloading and instaling the newest firmware for security reasons. I am having the same issues as this topic ( https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R8000-rebooting/td-p/494441/page/2 ) I thought by spending $300 for a top of the line router I wouldnt have connection issues but it seems this model is super buggy since the update. I bought the unit in July and never had rebooting issues or IP changes. Now when it reboots it changes the ip's of a few connections. I have since reserved the ip's so they dont change (for remote vpn login reasons). I get regular loss of wifi signal on the 5ghz signals. I only attach 1-2 streaming media devices to those ports (amazon fire stick, apple tv ect...) and they seem to work ok for a while but drop after about 45min of use. Any ideas on this. It seems that this model has been buggy for years since it was released. I only have 2 hard line connections and around 5-8 wifi connected devices at a time. Again as I said I havent had an issue until the firmware was updated. It seems like it corrupted the router.

Router gets VERY slow and needs reboot
I've had this router for about 1 year. It worked well, but after about 3 weeks things would start streaming slow, movies and games. After a restart everything worked fine. A month ago I started having issues with my wife's phone, Galaxy S6. It would stay connected, but internet was so slow it was unusable. The mobile network was fine. If we connected to wifi at a store or libray it was fine. Only time we had an issue is at home. To give you an idea if we did a Speedtest it would take 1-2 minutes to "Find the Best Server". After that push "Begin Test" and the speed was about 75 Mbps. For my phone the "Find the Best Server" was 2-3 seconds. Do the same test on the mobile network and it works great. I tried moving it from 5 ghz to 2.4, changed the encryption, rebooted the phone, reset the phone, rebooted the router nothing helped the speed. Finally I tried connecting with WPS instead of using the passphrase and that worked. For a while. Every 1-2 days it gets slow again. I need to reboot the router, then it works fine again for another 1-2 days. Provider is Xfinity and I believe we have the latest firmware. Needless to say it's very frustrating to have to reboot the router every day. Today it worked only 12 hours and I had to reboot again. We have 4 computers, Chromecast, smart appliances, ipods, and none of them have a problem. Only 1 phone and then it only started a month ago. Any ideas? This is very frustrating. Thanks.

NetGear 6100D Sprint Router - random disconnects
Hi, I need help with a netgear sprint 6100d router, for some reason the router will lose connection at random times during the day or go extremely slow. I know this isnt just my router, i have friends that have the exact same router and have to reboot it at least once a day. I don't know if its the software version. I have the most current version, and i dont know what is going on. I need to know if there is a issue with the software, or do i need to use a previous version, the computer says failed to connect to a dns server, it like needs to be reboot once a day or more to keep the internet up. I was wondering if someone can help me if there is a setting i can change to fix this, i even tried to fix it by changing the dns server to google's dns server but that didnt help. I have devices that need to stay on 100% the time without having the router reboot, I have tried updating the prl as well but that doesnt solve my problem If anyone can help me please let me know, Thanks, TheawesomeMCB

Can't connect to Internet every time computer wakes up or boots up.
I set my wifi Range extender with my computer running Window 10. Everything worked fine. But when I turn on the computer or when computer wakes up from sleep, it states that DNS is not found nor that I am not connected to Internet. I had to keep rebooting extender in order to work again. I do not want to do that every time. So how to fix it so that computer will have access to internet without having to reboot extender. Thanks,
