Hello
do you have theses problems in Router or AP mode ?
Thanks for reply
Router mode. Was able to get it working on .74 firmware. Tried .78 and same issues again.
After what happened to me earlier, I always now do a clean install every time and manually put in my settings instead of loading from a save. So far so good.
What is this 'clean install' you speak of?
Basically hold the Reset button in with a toothpick for over half a minute. This should wipe everything and set it to factory default. Once you go back to your browser it should ask you some basic setup questions including the initial password. It will also ask to update to the latest firmware, and I update it. Then I do NOT load any settings, I manually put them in by hand on each part of the router I want to change. Since I started doing that, I have had no issues.
- Hello, I explain what I've done:
1) My R7800 has 1.0.2.68 firmware = OK
2) I reset the router to erase all personal parameters
3) At the startup, under the initial minimal configuration (router web interface) update 1.0.2.68 to 1.0.2.78.... Wait for restart...
4) At the startup 1.0.2.78, under the initial minimal configuration, I choose password.... AP MODE... Wifi WPA key... Etc... Reboot normally...
After, the router R7800 works for 5 minutes... Wifi drops, reboot randomly... WTF .... Arghhhhhh....
