Did R7000 1.0.6.54 get pulled?

All links to 1.0.6.54 seem to lead nowhere.  "Requested file does not exist"  Another failed beta?  Are we going to just give up on Arlo support for this router?  I think at this point, for our troubles, we all deserve a free Arlo base station.

    The file is now updated and you may download the beta. 

    It's just that the link got expired.

      Hi Elaine, could you share the download link again for R7000 Firmware 1.0.6.54? I still not able to download by the original link.

  • "You can now download the beta"? All netgear firmware appears to be "beta" as of late! Sounds like it's well passed time to fire the programming team and hire someone who knows what they are doing!
  • Can you backup settings in router, then flash and then pull in the backup cfg settings file.

      Not advisable. The data can change between f/w versions. Only reliable when re-flashing the SAME version after you install it and reset. Other case would be if you made changes and didn't like them and wanted to restore the settings you had before changing them. This is especially true if you are going backwards in versions.

       

      However I guess you could try it, but if you have problems, RESET and then manually enter required settings, but it isn't advised to do this.

         I'm not sure what settings I changed from factory default. I have at least 8 port forwarding settings that I added. Will those change? Is there a way to get a list of settings that one needs to record befor a factory reset is done.

  • Thank you. For now I left it running without wiping the settings, but if I have any issue I'll surely follow your advice.

      If my memory recall is correct, that was one of the Arlo beta's. If so, people going backwards did complain about an Arlo SSID broadcasting but it didn't work. Seems to have been a remnant of the old beta left. Reseting the router after the backward flash did fix that problem.
