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...
My problem was that connection between ASUS RT-AC3200 and Netgear EX7000 were cut off every 1 hour. ASUS wifi "Group Key Rotation Interval" is exactly that 1 hour, too. Changing that interval to 0 ment that "WPA group key"(=Group Key) was solid and so was connection too.
I have used Netgear EX7000 test-Firmware version "V1.0.1.78_1.0.161_test" since (Group Key Rotation Interval=3600sec).
Now installed that new public fw-version:
(1) first installed new firmware and after that
(2) reset Extender and then
(3)configured it.
No connection droppings at all. :-) ...yes, and Group Key Rotation Interval is on (3600 sec).
It looks like if one still have connection droppings it is nice to know name and model of the router connected to EX7000.
