Devices losing connection on V1.0.4.30 firmware
I have a R7000 I purchased March of 2014. It's on 24 hours has worked without hardly any issues until the last firmware upgrade. I have many wireless devices including 2 Windows laptops, 2 Android ta...
Did you factory reset router before and after upgrade? That's best way to ensure all of the fw upgrade works. Gets rid of any nasty artifacts (config or old fw realted) and loads any new drivers that may be included in a fw release.

You know I didn't think about that. It's not that I never knew about a factory reset but for some reason I just forgot. As a matter of fact I don't remember ever doing a reset on this router and I have had several updates. Well I'm going to do it now. I'll let you know in a few days if it resolved my issue. Thank you very much for the very fast reply.
I can verify the R7000 issue with the latest .30 firmware, very nasty bug it really hosed the network\router on the 5G side and affected overall performance...I had to revert to .28 to rectify and will not update until this is been fixed.
Im having dissconnects all the time since the last update as well. I have never had any problems for a year and now it wont stay connected.
I did a reset but the latest firmware stayed? I thought it was supposed to reset everything?
A factory reset, resets the firmware the router is running to factory default settings. If you want to change the firmware you running, download from the Netgear site, to your desktop and restore from there. To be clear, I am not talking about a router reboot (power off / power on), I am talking about a reset to factory defaults, by depressing the reset button on the back of router, until the router power light starts to flash.
I also had this issue, and I've never had to go back to the older firmware, but I did this time. Sicne the downgrade no issues at all...
