Netgear R7800 Firmware 1.0.2.76
2020/04/11 EXACLTLY SAME PROBLEMS WITH TE NEW FIRMWARE v1.0.2.76 Wifi drops in AP MODE / unable to use AP MODE R7800 v1.0.2.76 firmware always contains BUGS Reset the router. Still the same probl...
I have tried to downgrade to .68, but that did not work. It was unstable, so i had to go back to .74 still wifi dropping but less then .76
I've noticed several problems to .76 reported in the forum.
I noticed once I went to it, all connections, local and internet of course would drop, which has never happened in my history with this product. I rolled back to .74, and it still kept happening. I've seen it happen only once with .68, and what is weird is that .74 never used to do it either. I wonder if I should factory reset and then fresh update to .76 because something clearly has gone astray judging by all the issues listed in this and other threads.
Tried it a 2nd time after a factory reset. No dice. .76 so far in all the years I have had this router is by far the worst firmware update I've seen. ...in fact I don't recall having much problems before this.
- I also never had any problems. Decided to buy a new router... it is almost if they do this un purpose, but i am not buying a netgear router. I switch to Acer RT-AX88U as i do not trust netgear to solve this problem soon. Could have been the netgear AX8, but no thanks as for this sort of problems appears to be with a lot of netgear routers.
