AC1900 modem/router combo
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: Billy Taylor
Installed this modem/router after my last combo stopped working. My previous M/R was a Netgear and lasted for approx. 8 years. Working well and easy to install set up.
This is my second Netgear c7000v2 that has died after two years. The current unit was working perfectly and then started having problems with the wireless. I did a power cycle, and even a factory reset and still have issues.
I establish a solid wifi connection for a few minutes and able to browse different websites. Then I type a URL in the browser and then get "site can't be reached'. I can be in the same room where the modem/router is located and issue occurs. I have cleared cached of the browser, even tried other browsers and other laptops and same issue. Tried flushing my DNS and even releasing and renewing in Ipconfig. Maybe the wifi radio is going bad? I have posted in the netgear community and no one can figure this issue out. It is not my cable internet connection as I tried my old linksys cable modem with my old Netgear wireless router and it works perfectly.
If I plug my laptop via ethernet cable into the Netgear c7000v2, I can go to any website. I have done two factory resets of the modem and the wifi is still giving me problems as I described above
I don't know what to say, but I will never ever buy a Netgear cable mode/router. They don't last and fail in about two years.
