MR60 MK62 Firmware Version 1.1.7.132 issue - No WIFI
I updated the firmware on my MK60 & MS60 mesh system. I upgraded from v1.1.6.122 to the latest v1.1.7.132 and my WIFI devices started dropping off and couldn't connect. I recycled power a few times...
Honestly, where does it say after a firmware update to factory reset the router and reconfigure it from scratch? If that were true, Netgear wouldn't push it out for an automatic upgrade. In the 30+ years I have been in IT, I have never heard of having to do a factory reset on a device after a firmware upgrade.
The size of the house and distance between the router and satellite doesn't even come into play. After the firmware update, sitting right next to the router, with the satellite powered off, you cannot connect to the WIFI network (it is broadcasted). When physically connected to the LAN port you can see that the router cannot communicate with the modem.
Again, revert the firmware back to the previous version and everything works without an issue.
My MK62 is not usable since the automatic update. I downgraded to the last firmware and it worked but the second day it automatically updated again and again my wifi stopped working. Stupid firmware.
- Turn off automatic updates! It is under the Manual section of the firmware update.
