R7000 in Bridge mode loosing wired clients

[pato]

Hi all
I also have a second Netgear router, an R7000 which is in Bridge mode and connected to my R7800 in AP mode.
To this R7000 are several wired clients connected, which are most of the day turned off. After 1-3 days, the wired ports stop working on the R7000.
I'm running official firmware V1.0.9.42_10.2.44, which is a tad old. But with 1.0.9.60 I had various other 5 GHz problems and had to downgrade again.
Once I power cycle the R7000 everything works again for some time.
Most of the time the R7000 web interface keeps accessible, but not always. When I checked it today, all the directly wired clients disappeared from the "Attached clients" page. The attached clients don't get an IP address when the R7000 is in this state.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks
pato

Probably. Something you should contact NG support about. See if they will fix it. Not a lot of call for wires bridge on some routers.
You might post about it here:

Then ask one of the forum moderator to forward it on.

So far it looks good since the upgrade to 1.0.9.64. Holding my fingers crossed.

Good. Hope it keeps working. Enjoy.
