The Nighthawk was just over 2yrs old and I can’t believe it crapped out already. I didn’t want to fork out another $250, but I guess I had to. In all the forums I have read over the last week, almost everyone’s final solution was to get a different router. It’s actually faster than the Nighthawk I had. So I went and got an ASUS AC3100 last night and it’s been great so far. Splitters can and do fail.Ĭould also be a loose power connection with respect to either cable modem or router.Īfter dealing with this crap for over a week and a half, countless setting changes, reboots, resets, flashing to countless versions of firmware both Netgear and DD-WRT, nothing worked. Likewise check the connections and configuration.Ĭoax - look for a splitter (one coax cable in, two cables out) that may be serving the cable modem. In addition to the router's manual, here is a link to the cable modem's User Guide: However, with all devices being affected the problem is unlikely to be within your computer per se. If your ISP does not provide IPv6 then you can disable IPv6 just as a matter elimination if anything. Not noting any issues per se in 'ipconfig /all'. Check the cable modem as suggested by router's manual is important because it explains (to some level or another) how the connections should be made, what the default settings are, what configuration changes may be applicable or necessary.Įspecially after factory resets - all too easy to overlook some long forgotten change that you may have made. : Friday, Febru12:12:35 PMĭefault Gateway. I have the routers user manual, not sure why that's important here.ĭescription. I have Wave Cable with Arris SB8200 cable modem So any suggestions on how to fix this issue, weather is be Netgear Firmware or DD-WRT? However, I am not sure of the most current version and when I search for it there seems to be a lot of conflicting information. I don't have a problem changing over, as I know enough about this to be dangerous. I have read Netgear firmware is problematic and the DD-WRT is more stable. Most recently I tried resetting to original firmware.again not resolved. I have tried rolling the firmware back, tried 6 previous editions.

I have read many many forums on this issue and have tried all of the various setting changes.

When this started, I had the latest firmware for my device. Its been this way for about a week, not sure exactly.

Also can still access the router interface via a browser but its very slow whereas its pretty fast when internet is up. When internet gets dropped, its for all devices wireless and wired. Its not consistent, sometimes happens a few mins after resetting, sometimes a few hours.very frustrating none the less. A power reset on the router resolves the issue. I have a nighthawk R8000 that keeps dropping the internet.
