Problems with NetGear Nighthawk X6 AC 3200 disconnecting

The_Big_EZ

So if I had hair, I would have pulled it out by now...  I have had this NetGear router for months now and recently, it has started disconnecting randomly.  All of my Nest Cameras go down, and everything else on the 3 channels it has.  I am not sure what is going on.  I have went into the admin tab when inside of the routers settings and preformed the update manually via hardwired after resetting the router.  I have tried bypassing my ISP modem/router, I have contacted the ISP and had the wireless feature on their router turned off, still nothing is fixing the issue.  If anyone knows a lot about this router... PLEASE HELP.  I feel like I have a $300 paperweight which is hard to swallow...

Hi @The_Big_EZ thanks for asking your question.

When you contacted the ISP, did you ask them to place their communication device in pass-thru or 'bridged' mode?  Make sure that you tell them that you have your own router and only want their device to act as a modem.

Once that's ensured then (and I think you've already performed this action) but factory reset the Nighthawk (great router, by the way) and re-flash the most recent firmware to it.

On the internet, I found some like  Inaccurate WiFi mode
Use the same steps and go to the wireless adaptor setting or press the Windows key + R together on the keyboard and open the Run Box.

I will try these today. Thanks for all your help guys. I did ask about bride mode but they said the router/modem the ISP provided cannot go into that mode. I managed to get the customer service rep to let me know they have a different brand of router/modem, and I need a new cable box as well, so hoping for something better. I'm going to see if the have just a modem. The tech I spoke with also turned off the wireless, but I had that turned off before I called. I did a firmware update with it plugged into my computer via ethernet, which seemed to have helped. I just bought 250 yds of cat6 cable hoping that I will see a little difference. Definitely going to try the run command. I appreciate it! Keep you posted. Please feel free to add if you have any other ideas.

How do I know which adapter I'm using?
