Model: A7000|Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter - USB 3.0 firmware V1.011.134
Hi, My new Router is losing connection at least once a day. Mostly around 9:00PM I have to reboot it and everything works fine till the next day. Before I call and deal with Netgear does anyone have any suggestions? I Have read maybe changing the name of the Network etc.
I have a 400Mps down and 20Mps up
Firmwear is up to date.
Thanks for any info.

Is the A7000 WiFi USB Adapter listed in your footer involved in this in anyway? Or did you just click the first thing that popped up when you wrote your message?
If not then this is not the right place to seek help with a router.
If the A7000 is involved, why do you think that this has anything to do with your lost connections?
As plemans says, details matter. At the moment it is anybody's guess as to what is going on at your end.

I have a A7000 Night hawk router. It is dropping connection around 9PM at night every night. I gave all the information in the subject line with the firmware.
What router do you have?
what firmware is on the router?What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
(hint, these were asked on your last thread and not answered, details are key)

They are in the subject line it is a A7000 Nighthawk router. Firmware is also posted there. Firmware is up to date. Don't know Spectrum modem.

There is no such thing as an "A7000 Nighthawk router". That is the model number of a USB adapter. (See your earlier footer.)
Routers often start with an R. So you may have the R7000.
That does have a firmware version V1.011.134, but this is no guarantee that you own an R7000. Netgear can use the same firmware version, but not the same firmware, for different devices.
Perhaps you can confirm the model number.
While you are at it, answer the other question from plemans. What is the modem/gateway, if there is one, that sits between your router and the Internet.
Apologies for all the questions. But you can help people to help you by providing the information suggested in this forum's header:
