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? ...
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.
