Netflix Android app crashes through R7000 router, works fine on all other networks
Our Linksys router died recently. After not making it more than about 2 years on our last two Linksys routers, I decided to come back and give Netgear a try. I'd had good luck with them in the past. ...
I came across this about an hour ago too and am reading through it now. Thanks.
It definitely looks like it is a Linksys issue. The funny thing is, until my Linksys router died, we had no issues whatsoever. Everything worked fine with the range extender on our network. It took that router dying and setting up our new Netgear for the issue to manifest. Now though, our issues sound exactly like everyone on that thread.
I'm going to mark this issue as solved. Technically it isn't really solved, but it's not a Netgear issue, so, as far as Netgear is concerned, it is.
I've requested access to a beta version of a firmware update for my range extender that supposedly fixes the issue.
Thanks for your help.
Funny you should mention that. I tried to do some research and came across this thread on Linksys's forum (link).
