V2.0.1.4 Newer than 2.1.2.18?

Question

After the issues with FW afer 2.1, rolling back to 2.0.0.74 made things VERY stable again. Then Netgear pulled any auto firmware updates and loved having a stable Wifi system again. Noticed a few days ago, there was a warning with a new update. Looks like 2.0.1.4 is now the latest FW. Let's hope this keeps things stable for more customers!

YMMV, of course.&nbsp;&nbsp; For me it's been as stable as .74 (e.g., no major issues), and far better than 2.1.x.

2.0.1.4 has been pretty good for a few days. Let's hope this keeps up.

I am still not brave enough to enable these though.

Implicit BEAMFORMING

MU-MIMO

Enable Fast Roaming

Anyone enabled all of these for 2.0.1.4 yet?

I would leave them alone until next FW update.&nbsp;If you do get brave, just enable one feature at a time and see what happens. You can always go back and disable it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Did too much testing on something that cost THIS much and it freaking breaks... Hoping someone else can spend more time on testing and report back. I am a little fed up with spending $500 and having to fix this darn thing recently. The first few months were rock solid.

Understand Sir.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can revert back to v14 if needed or you feel the need to. If any of the suggestions stablize whats currently loaded or you seem to be stable. Leave it for now. Give some of the suggestions a try next.&nbsp;&nbsp;I presume NG is working on next FW release. Just hope it fixes what they broke in last version.&nbsp;:smileyfrustrated:&nbsp;&nbsp;
