Extender issues after firmware upgrade
I have read a few post regarding issues with this ex7000 wifi extender and wish to share my experience. After purchasing, I set it up and all went well, good speeds and no issues. 1.0.0.62 was pre-in...
Yes, I have had similar issues with firmware version 1.0.1.78.
- The main one is that extended wifi on the 2.4 GHZ drops out (ie. with wifi signal can't be found on my phone, laptop or any other device) every day and have to power on/ off the device.
- I have reverted to firmware version 1.0.1.66 - and will test that over the next few days
Netgear only provide 30 days "technical" support after that it is a simple RMA - which wont fix a firmware issue.
I agree with the post below as well: I will never by another Netgear product again as the support is inadequate and quality of software very poor.
I hope Netgear reads these posts and actuallt pays attention to their loss of sales due to these two issues.
