Best firmware for R7000P?
What is the best firmware version for R7000P? After about 1 year of using my R7000P Nighthawk with no issues, all of a sudden 5Ghz decides to drop out 5-7 times a day. The logs show nothing of in...
Currently stuck using v1.3.0.20.
I've also had to switch some critcal devices to the 2.5GhZ network as I can't risk those devices continually dropped off on the 5GhZ network.
A real shame that this Netgear product has been a waste of hundreds of dollars :(
HI,
short story- Daughter needed a modem router and had a router only, so we swapped. (good DAD) My bad as it was very unreliable and poor in operation in so many ways. I ended up with the R7000p FTTP and she ended up with the TP VR600 on FTTN.
I changed to DD-WRT beta 44715 release and happiniess is once more in this house.
end of short story :)
Yes I had tried different FW versions, factory reset, examined all settings etc. As a electronics technician over nearly 40+ years doing ALL electronics devices to tag strip, and SM component level with a hobby of computing, ranging from CPM, dos, windows 1 , linux, unix and lots of propietry software in devices with snmp, web servers, GPIO control, yada, yada. I DO feel qualified to condem bad software and reward good software.
my 2 cents worth.
