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.
I reverted the firmware back to the previous version. It runs like it use to now with zero problems. It has not lost connection since. With the new firmware it would not stay connected and I would have to reboot the router each time to get the connection to establish and it would drop it after a few minutes.
Hi egiprime,
Please reset the router to factory default after the firmware update. Once reset has been done, reconfigure the router manually.

Same issue on this release. After some time wifi disconnects. Devices try to connect without succcess never reaching up to receiving an ip address. Did a factory reset and manual basic config, but no change. Will revert to .28 i presume.
Factory reset seems to have resolved my problem so far. It's been over two weeks without any router issues. But if it starts acting up again I'll revert to the prior update.
Reloaded my config and restarted, and now is stable for 4 days with the latest release. Wonderfull.
