Firmware update to version V1.0.11.126_10.2.112

Updated the R7000 firmware on July 30, 2021. Serious flaws found in this new firmware thus far:
1) the router indicates that 23 devices are connected, and yet it is only able to list the names and addresses of 9 of those devices.

2) The ability to edit the names of the devices no longer functions (at all).

 

Please fix these features so that they work again. Thank you.

  • Interesting, because for me #2 was broken through several versions of R7000 firmware and it was finally fixed by v1.0.11.126_10.2.112.
    Also, I've never experienced a miscount of devices as you report in #1.

     

    Did you reset to factory settings after updaing your firmware?

     

    My only remaining issue is that I can't disable the router pin to shut off WPS.

      Prior to the update, the only problem I had with #2 (editing names) was that if the names contained "spaces" (ASCII decimal 32), it would crash the router completely. I had to be careful to use hyphens (it didn't seem to have a problem with those). Now, editing doesn't work at all. And if I want to know what's connected, I have to go to the Advanced/Access Control page.
