Solved a few EX7000 WIFI issues by reverting back to firmware 1.0.0.32
Thought I share some findings I have made.
Have got the EX7000 in AP mode for 1 week now and when it worked the wifi speed was superb and it realy helped the issue with a bad wifi from the router I got from my service provider. Problem was that it took forever to connect our phones to the wifi and sometimes it didnt work at all.
After initial set-up I downloaded and installed the latest firmware, 1.0.0.38, as that usually is the smartest way to do.
During the week I have been searching for solutions to the very long wait time to get on the wifi and done several restarts and factory resets of both the router and the EX7000.
Then this morning the EX7000 couldnt get out on the internet at all and I then decided to revert the firmware, good call! Had some issues during set-up when it locked everything out but I sorted it and now, so far, the AP works like a dream! Phones connect as soon as you start to use them and the speed is as fast as the ethernet. Just hopes it stays like this now :)
:smileyhappy: So what I did: I downgraded from 1.0.0.38 to 1.0.0.32 :smileyhappy:
