I'm starting to think that issue comes from Android 8.1. It's happening since i updated my Nexus 6p to it.
Indeed also some netgear devices seem affected: https :// community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Android-8-Crashes-Orbi/m-p/1452347/highlight/true

Meanwhile let's see, i've set ip adress reservation for my Nexus 6p, wondering if it's something related to dhcp that can be fixed this way.

I made the update and its a ko
It has kept the goodwork for 46h however it finally crashed the same way
I read the post and may be we have a clue, It seems that it happens when i use my smartphone and its true that it was working fine for 4months
until my phone updated to oreo android 8, May be it's related "@brab84"
in the mean while, it works with the phone after the reboot and if i try a disconnect/reconnect the wifi from the smartphone it doesn't seem to cause any issue
That means it something that established the first time the wifi try to catch the device

in all cases the firmware update doesn't fix the issue, althought the router response seems to be faster

Sadly, ip address reservation didn't fix the issue, will try the beta firmware too.

Hi Guys,
I have exactly the same problem with my D7. Suddenly 10 days ago the Wifi (both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz) was no more working. The D7 seems to be freeze in the sense that it was no more pingable, the web interface was no more accessible and this will cause my internet connection to be blocked. The D7 is in fact connected to my LAN where I have a VDSL modem. As soon as I disconnected the D7 from the LAN I was then able to surf the internet while the D7 was remaining freeze (the LAN led was on even if the cable was disconnected).

I installed the proposed beta firmware but nothing changed and after 4 hrs it was freeze again. I'm very frustrated at this point.

Any more experience with that problem is welcome!

MR

Hello same problem here since 10 days more or less, and it's very annoying.

I tried already to reset, change to beta firmware (and reset it again), turning off WPS and UPNP, but the result is the same, it freezes 1-2 times a day and I can't do nothing but turn it off and on manually (just wifi 2.4 stays up but is unaccessible, 5Ghz one disappears)

I'm really close to throw it to the bin, never had such annoying thing with other routers, even more cheap than this.

Hi,
Have the same problem with C1200 (2.0.0 Build 20161130 rel.64463 (US)). First time i noticed it around Sat, Dec 9. I don't remember when updated my phone, but also have Nexus 6p with android 8.0.
I already did 2 hard resets. The first time i restored configuration from the backup file, the second time did everything manually. Nothing helped.
I use the router from Aug 6, 2017. Nothing special in the configuration:
- 15 wifi devices
- 2 wire connections
- Configuration
-- DHCP - 10 clients
-- Wifi configured for 2.4G and 5G. 5G configured as hidden
-- 5G guest wifi
-- Disabled USB sharing and Print server
-- Disable WPS

Dear support, time to step in and acknowledge software bug or recommend us to replace devices. Let us know which else information we can provide.
