My R7000 toggles between "looking for Networks" and on
My router does not want to stay connected to the internet? It jumps back and fourth between Looking for Networks and on constantly? If I restart my IMac it seems to solve the problem temporarily? But...
I fixed my router within 1 hour after months of troubles!
It's called a TP-Link router.
Replace the router with a different brand and no more troubles!!
Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.
This is a nuisance because you then have to reconfigure the device all over again.
You can backup your settings before you reset and restore them later. But that may just bring back the fault. Then again, at least you will know if the reset fixed the problem.
This did not help. I never changed any of the settings to begin with. I finally found how to reset everything to factory defaults, just in case, but it didn't change anything at all.
Any other ideas? This is incredibly frustating.
