      I will try your suggestion.   The new firmware has completely bricked my AC1900EX7000 like it has many others.

       

      Unfortunately right now I can not connect to either of the ext bands.  So Mywifeext.net does not recognize the EX7000.  Any suggestions how I can roll back the firmware would be appreciated.

        I did downgrade to firmware 66 and it worked for a few minutes but quickly quit working.  After spending 7 hours on this problem and trying to get the AC1900 EX7000 to work, I am giving up.  It has given me a couple of years of good service and it is time to buy the updated model and hope it works for a couple of years.
