EX7000 drops connections after firmware 1.0.1.80
i recently installed the latest firmware 1.0.1.80 and now my extender contstantly loses connection and needs to be rebooted to reestablish service. anyone else having issues? is this a known issue? ...
Thanks and i have already done exactly that. Unfortunately the device still doesn't forward dhcp packets after an extended period of operation.
Not going to upgrade until this is fixed

EX7000 drops connections frequently in extender mode after firmware 1.0.1.80 and so does 1.0.1.82. This is not acceptable for a premium product. There has hardly been a working firmware for this product ever since I purchased it 2 years ago.
There is a 1.0.1.84 update but this is not available for download. You have to update it through the gui. I hope this one works.
- I agree. It’s ridiculous that they can’t put out a decent firmware upgrade for one of their popular selling products. Please let me know if the .84 update works for you
It's been 2 days and not a single dropped connection with .84 so It's finally working as it should. I'm more relieved than happy as this should have been corrected ages ago. I also had to buy another brand extender whilst this one got its firmware fixed so it cost me a lot. I don't think I'll waste my money on Netgear again.
.84 firmware has started playing up again with frequent disconnects. It worked fine for 2 days. Back to my trusted non-Netgear repeater which works flawlessly. Absolutely pathetic.
Sorry to hear that. I've been running V1.0.1.80_1.0.144 and it's been working fine. Will not be updating anymore....not sure the benefit of future updates since they only serve "wi-fi" duty and are not directly connected to the outside world. Lesson learned for future purchases.
