I have an R6700 with the latest firmware (.36) on it. What has started happening since the last update is I will notice that all 2.4Ghz connections will drop off the connection list on the router. Then after a bit, anything trying to connect via 2.4 Ghz will see the SSID, attempt to connect but not get an IP address. If I reboot, it returns, but only for a while until it happens again, usually a couple of hours. What has changed is I have added a few more things (19 in total) that connect in the last week. I have done a hard reset, change the channel from auto to the best I can see via wifi tools for my area. Any help? I am losing my mind.
This morning, I turned off the 2.4 GHz guest network, and it hasn't dropped since. Of course, this is of some inconvenience to the guests we have this week.
It's so frustrating to have a higher-priced router that has begun to behave like a $19.99 Amazon special. 😞
Same issue as a lot of R7000 owners have. 2.4GHz Wi-Fi devices are loosing their connection. Netgear can't fix it. The newest firmware are ruining the routers. Even a downgrade and reset is not fixing the problem. They tried to fix it with 2 beta firmwares but without success. Just buy another brand and forget Netgear.
