Netgear R7800 Firmware 1.0.2.78
Netgear R7800 Firmware 1.0.2.78 EXACLTLY SAME PROBLEMS WITH v1.0.2.74 / v1.0.2.76 / v1.0.2.78 Router reboots randomly Wifi drops in AP MODE / unable to use AP MODE R7800 v1.0.2.78 firmware al...
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.
- Thanks... But... It's EXACLTLY
WHAT I've DONE ...
... and (with my bad English - I'm French) it's exactly what I've explain in my previous post...The fact I even have to do that indicates a problem with their software anyway. I never had to do that in the past.
I'm having the same issue. WIFI signal drops randomly after I updated to 1.0.2.78. I am currently on 1.0.2.68 as that was the stable version that worked for me to roll back to. I have had zero problems after going back to .68.
Based on other forums and these, 1.0.2.78 is unstable and causing problems. Don't update to it!
I'm using router mode FYI but I would assume it would be the same for AP mode in WIFI.
