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...
In one of the many other threads on this issue, I posted the following, which totally agrees with everyone on this thread:
"Had exactly the same problems and also resolved them by reverting to the previous firmware version.
There have been a number of threads on this issue, most of which have been marked as solved and closed to further posts, but when you look at the 'solution', it is always reverting to previous firmware version. This is NOT a solution, merely a temporary workaround.
Isn't it about time Netgear acknowledge that there is clearly a problem and actually do something about providing a real solution?
But I guess marking all the threads as solved improves their stats.........."
Bill.
At the moment I'd be happy if Netgear just said they stuffed up and it can not be done. To have said, and be seen to have done, nothing after spruiking the "advancement" is just disgraceful. It's not like this happened yesterday, it has been opn-going since the update was released.
So far, going back to the old update is still working for me. I'm surprised that Netgear has not made a comment as to what is going on on their posts.....
Going back to previous firmware version is still working for me too.
Have given up expecting any sort of professional response from Netgear............won't be buying any more of their kit in future!
- It's really pathetic. This firmware is still live. They never acknowledged the failure and haven't provided a newer version.
This is my reason for never buying Netgear again. They just knowingly leave a version of software which has now months of evidence of it being catastrophically broken.
Very poor
