R8000P dropping wifi connection
Hello, I own a Nighthawk X6S (R8000P) and I've been having an ongoing issue where after I've been surfing via wifi for some time the wifi connection will remain active however there is no data up/dow...
So I updated to Firmware V1.4.0.10 5 days ago. So far no internet drops :smileyhappy:
Haven't tried installing my USB hardrive to see if network storage works again. Just updating everyone.
Looks like some people rather start crap and not ask for the proper help. See how far that gets them. Anyways I'm done with this form. Deleting my account, ain't going to help anyone anymore. See ya
I was the original poster of this Router Issue back in october,2017. I also came up with the last known working firmware which is 1.1.4.6_1.1.85 I have quietly been monotoring this thread every day. I have tried every new Firmware Including the latest one as late as 2 days ago. I absolutely know HOW to properly install new firmware, factory reset the router,power it off,then go through a complete new setup. I'm just touching base to say this latest attempt worked for ONE FREAKIN' DAY... just like all the other Firmwares Netgear has released since October 2017.. I have figured out 2 choices,since it is QUITE CLEAR now that Netgear Has NO CLUE how to fix this issue. I'm gonna install digital timers for modem and router to reset each morning around 5 AM, and possibly again around 5 PM. This will eliminate the NETGEAR Issue and will clear out any junk cache files,etc.. Kill 2 birds with one stone I guess. My only other method that i KNOW works is to run that outdated Firmware that I provided in this post!! It is very stable but has security risks!! Thanks for NOTHING Netgear!! $329.99 for this router and almost a year later and you still CAN'T FIX IT!! I'm just sick N tired of being sick N Tiired....!!!!!! :(
