Netgear Nighthawk R7000 not allowing internet access

[Travercraig]

A while ago I bought a Netgear R7000 to replace my default Virgin superhub (I'm on a virgin connection) For the first week or so of using it it worked fine and it benefited the entire network considerably however after a week or so it suddenly stopped working completely and i couldn't connect to the internet with it at all. I had to send it back and use the virgin router as a router again. As before it was just in modem mode along with the nighthawk as the router.It's a shame because I'd like to buy the R7000 again but I want to be sure it will actually work. Any suggestions? I can't really remember too much because it was ages ago. But I can't stand this default super hub any longer.

Just get another, has it got good ventilation/was it overheating?

Don't think so, it just wouldn't even connect at all.

A build up of heat could break something over time. I would get it again, the product itself is good. Could just be a faulty one?

It was working fine physically, it just refused to connect. I don't think it was faulty.

Could the router not connect to the internet or you? Where you just using wireless?

To be honest I can't really remember it was ages ago. All I remember was that it worked fine for a few days then suddenly it just wouldn't connect to my LAN, not sure about wireless.
