Re: R7000P 5GHz wifi speed going down after a few days

Let me answer anyway. No, I have not found any solutions, except to stop using the devices I am using. And that truly is not a solution to, probably, a software problem.

 

Tried contacting Netgear support, but no answer. Am really disappointed.

Re: R7000P 5GHz wifi speed going down after a few days

Hi, my 2nd post was wrong but my first post did apply to this thread. I have the same problem as you.

The deleted post was responding to a 2nd thread here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/WiFi-speed-drops-every-few-days/m-p/1689322

Which doesn't solve the problem but there is a simple fix.

Log into the router then go to 'wireless' then click 'apply' at the top. This seems to restart just the WiFi portion of the router and then I got full WiFi speeds again. The speeds then slow down again over a few days so it's definitely not a solution, but at least it's a temporary fix and saves you having to restart the whole router.

Hope at least in the interim at least that helps you a bit. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but if there isn't a proper fix, I'm gonna return it under warranty.

Good luck!

Thank you, that is really a better and faster option than restarting the router.

So my router just stopped working. Red power light, neither simple or hard reset works. I am returning it and probably going with TP-Link next time. 

 

Case closed.
