I am curious what percentage of EX7000 units updated to the latest firmware is having these issues reported here.
I figure people happy with the update wouldn't be here, so it would be tricky to determine the success rate by polling people in here.
I too had frequent disconnect issues after the update, so I rolled back to the previous version.

Having same issue. Changed channel...did not fix. Is there a solution that does not call for a roll back?

Seemingly not at present. And i've found that rolling back hasn't resolved the instability ... i have effectively decommisioned my EX7000 because of this which is really annoying.

I am having problems too. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a novice and can't figure out how to roll back to an earlier version. Is there a help thread for that? Happy for replies to mtapsak@hotmail.com thank!!!

Basic instructions are here: https://kb.netgear.com/000059563/EX7000-Firmware-Version-1-0-0-66.
On step 5, make sure you select the .chk file.
