Laptop keeps losing internet connection - R7000
I've had an R7000 on my home network for a few months and the following problem is occuring with increasing frequency. I have a laptop running Windows 7 (connects at 2.4GHz) that I use throughout...

There are numerous known bugs (many doing with 2.4GHz devices) in that release of firmware which Netgear is aware of and that is why Netgear pulled that firmware release.
You will want to roll back your firmware to v.1.0.4.30. You can download it from the R7000 Downloads Support Page. After rolling back the firmware, you will want to do a factory erase of your router settings, then reconfigure everything as you like it/want it. DO NOT use a backup configuration file to restore your settings.

This is interesting. I have had my router since last august and updated the firmware as the new firmwares roll out.
I havent ever had any connectivity issues with it.
I just remotely logged into my router to check which firmware version i have and i have the above mentioned one (6.28).
So are there any other known issues with this firmware and should i roll back even if i dont have any connectivity issues? I am having some issues with readyshare...

Hi wyliesdiesels,
The firmware has been pulled out from support site due to wireless issues but if you are not experiencing any issues, you may continue using it.
