R7000 problem

Hi guys,

I have an R7000 modem router, connected via WAN to another modem router (broadband modem)

A few weeks ago I had a problem, the internet led was flashing fast from white to orange.


I did a hard reset and the problem disappeared, now it's back, I can surf the internet.
If I use the android app, it tells me it's offline...
Do I have to do a new hard reset? or is there a hardware problem?
the firware installed is V1.0.10.90_10.2.90

If I buy a new router, can I use the R7000 configuration file to configure the new router?

Model: R7000|AC1900 Smart WIFI Router

   I'd try different (older or newer) firmware before condemning the
hardware.

   That should work if "the new router" is an R7000.

   Cascadung multiple routers is probably a bad idea, too.  What,
exactly, is your (unspecified) "another modem router"?  Or is it
actually a "(broadband modem)"?  If it is (or includes) a router:

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Set Up the Router as
a WiFi Access Point".
