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...
Hi Bill - thx for the report on the 1.0.1.78 firmware test. Can you tell us how to enable the debug log on the extender (is this something that is only in the test firmware, or a general feature)? I haven't gotten access to the test firmware yet, but after previously downgrading back to the 1.0.0.66 version, and even after doing that my 2.4GHz radio periodically vanishes (both bands are connected to the base router, but the 2.4GHz extender network does not even advertise SSID, and is shown "greyed out" on the web interface). I would love to see any associated log messages that the extender provides. Thanks!
There is a check box to enable different names for the 2.4 and 5GHz networks on the web interface of the router.
How has the new firmware been holding up for everyone who's been testing?
It's been holding up pretty well for me.
I had a couple of dropouts that I noticed in the first week when I wasn't running the debug log, but since then with the log running continuously I haven't noticed any at all (although I may have missed any that ocurred when I wasn't using any of my devices/systems).
That said, I have just noticed that some of my devices could not connect to my extended 2.4Ghz network (although status showed no problems and one device was successfully connected), so have just rebooted the extender and now everything is working OK.......
So will offer to send in the logfile to see what they can find.

Has the new firmware update become available? I haven't heard back from Netgear's Christian yet. If it is available is it stable? I updated my new EX7300AC2200 and all good, but would like the EX7000AC1900 to work if possible.
