R7800 1.0.2.62 firmware BREAKS Netatmo Weather Station

If you use a Netatmo WeatherStation, beware, the 1.0.62 firmware update breaks connectivity for the device.  I've updated every version since the beginning, never had an issue.  However, with 1.0.62, I can no longer connect to my weatherstation, previous versions were working fine.  Has anyone else run into this issue?

 

Attached is a photo of Internet traffic that the Netatmo uses, post-upgrade it dropped to 0 (can't connect/issues)..

  • I went back to the previous version I was running: 1.0.2.60 and now everything is working perfectly again.  Beware: R7800 Firmware Version 1.0.2.62 is botched  for 2.4ghz connectivity to Netatmo Weatherstations!!

    Please post about this here in this forum for the R7800:

    Let them know what your seeing. 

    You should do a factory reset after loading new fw and setup from scratch to see if this helps solve the problem. Problem maybe the routers in a bad state after a FW update. 

     

    Good Luck.
