Review on Enhanced Performance with NETGEAR Renewed R7000-100NAR Nighthawk AC1900 Router: Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router with Open Source Support, Alexa Compatibility by Byron Elliott

Available This unit has been defective since purchase. We didn't get to fully test it until we moved to a new area away from heavy radio interference. The 5GHz radio dies 2-3 times a day. After a while the entire device reboots and I usually lose both wireless and wired network functionality until I manually reboot. We bought this access point as an add-on to an identical, newly purchased model that was in another house at the time and still works perfectly. In this regard, the readily available documentation doesn't mention anywhere that there is a 'feature' in this line of gateway routers that allows you to reset your internal WAN IP scheme if there is an inconsistent setting coming from the internet recognizes providers. Unfortunately, there's no way to turn this off, creating a world where my circuits reset periodically while owning both devices. As an investment, I'll probably switch to a more robust solution from a more professional line. ---- -This also happens with new devices. This is a design issue and some have suggested rolling the firmware back a few revisions. Don't buy this or you will be disappointed daily.
