Any R7000 owners roll the dice on 1.0.11.122 ?
I'm very pleased that the R7000s in both of my houses running on '116 have been outstandingly stable for the last 3 months. I just saw this new '122 hotfix and, always eager to stay ahead of vuln...
Installed 1.0.11.123 on top of 1.0.11.122. So far so good.
I posted earlier that 1.0.11.122 caused issues, didn't get around to posting an update. A day later, after a couple of power off, wait 1 minute, restart cycles, my laggy internet connectivity went away. No changes were made to settings, just the restarts.
I installed 1.0.11.123 in the same manner, just downloaded the zip and updated firmware through the admin page. Peformed an additional restart after firmeware update rebooted the device. My speed tests are back to normal, a little over 200 Mbps downstream on a 200 Cable internet plan, about 12 upstream (plan promises 10).
Both wired and Wi-Fi connectivity is normal. I just wonder what 122 might have left me exposed to for those few days.
Other info that might be useful:
- 5Ghz is turned off. I have no use for it since my wireless devices are too far to take advantage. I get better throughput on those devices using 2.4 Ghz. In any case, I'm not going to get anything faster than what my plan offers and definitely do not expect anything close to that over Wi-Fi. Haven't really measured speeds between devices on my network but I don't experience any issues streaming 1080P youtube videos from even about 100 feet (guesstimate) from the rotuer.
Perhaps turning 5Ghz off helps keep the device running better since it has one less overhead to deal with. I don't know, someone with more thorough knowledge of this router's hardware could chime in. But that might be a separate topic for discussion. - routerlogin.net continues to redirect to netgear's page with this message:
"You may not be connected to your Router’s WiFi network. To access routerlogin.com, your device must be connected to your Router’s WiFi network. Check your current connection and try again."
Which of course is incorrect. I am connected, they're just plugging their app. - NTP settings persist. By this I mean, I have selected a Timezon and have both "Automatically adjust for daylight savings time" and "Use default NETGEAR NTP server" checked. Those settings remain regardless of firmware updates or restarts. Time stamps in logs match the router's system time.
Hope this helps.

Instead of routerlogin.net, try http://192.168.1.1
Thanks for pointing that out. I always use the IP and forgot to mention it in my post. I just noted the change in functionality of the URL in case that helps others. Lest someone infers they *have* to use the app. Which they don't.
