EX7000 Wifi Range Extender Dropping out after upgrade latest Firmware
Hello
Range extender recently upgraded to latest release version EX7000-V1.0.1.78_1.0.140. Now the extender keeps on dropping off usually for around few seconds. The signal received from Linksy...
Just a quick update.
I have now been running the trial firmware (V1.0.1.78_1.0.157_test) for a few days and it has been largely stable. However, I have unfortunately experienced a couple of dropouts during this period. These were of a short duration but unfortunately not when I had the debug log running. I never experienced any dropouts at all on the previous version (V1.0.0.66_1.0.126).
I now plan to leave the debug log running continuously so that the next time I experience a dropout I can then stop the log and send it in to Netgear.
This trial version is definitely much more stable than the previous V1.0.1.78 version, but still not quite there although there is hope..........

Really hope they release a new firmware!
I've downgraded to 1.0.0.66
- Restored to 1.0.0.66
- Reset extender
Can I use the same SSID as my main router? The option to use the same SSID is not available in this firmware as I guess the mesh network functionality only came out in 1.0.1.78.
What's the impact of using the same SSID?
Edit - guess that attached answers my question.
Okay. I managed to finally rollback to the previous version and so far it seems to be working fine. Thanks again for all your help. I will wait and see how things go with the beta firmware before I upgrade again. If something should go awry with the rollback, will be back here.
