EX7000 internet issues after firmware upgrade
I received an email to upgrade my wifi extender firmware to V1.0.1.78_1.0.140. Installation went fine. Now I cannot connect to most websites. Google I can connect to. Netgear, among many others, I sim...
Yep... MANY people are having same problem .... downgrade the firmware by downloading it from netgear and applying ... looks like newest release is borked
Hi,
I've had loads of problems since the firmware upgrade too, my symptoms are extremely slow download speeds when connected via WiFi to this EX7000 - upload isn't ever affected, confirmed by running numerous download speed tests - 0 bytes down, almost full bandwidth of my configured upload speed. Switching to connect via WiFi directly to my broadband router (a BT SmartHub6) results in full speed again, switching back to being connected to the EX7000 results in zero download speed, full upload speed. Only powering the EX7000 off and then back on again fixes my issue.
I'll try the older firmware version now and see if it's still unstable over the next few days.
Cheers
Nick
Additionally after the downgrade from V1.0.1.78_1.0.140 to V1.0.0.66_1.0.126, my WiFi connected speed has risen from 575 Mbps (V1.0.1.78_1.0.140) to 1.1 Gbps (V1.0.0.66_1.0.126).
