- Dec 16, 2014Netgear support has sent me a beta firmware to test. It has been running for over 24 hours without connectivity problem. Initially, it was not working until I first did hardware factory reset. Directly applying the beta firmware did not work.
Thank you for all the people who have been given me the support and help. You are the best.

I have the exact same issue. I have Comcast cable and a Motorola cable modem. My R7000 reboots probably 200x daily. Have opened a service ticket with Netgear, which has generated zero assistance. Can't believe what a POS this router has been. Went Netgear as my old WNR3500L was so reliable, I never ever had a single hang up with it over years.
Will be returning the R7000 unless the good folks at Netgear deem this one to be a lemon and send another my way.
The DD-WRT idea seems crazy to me. Can't understand why I should have to replace the device software to make it function like it should out of the box.
