NETGEAR R7800 FIRMWARE v1.0.2.80 issues
Netgear R7800 Firmware v1.0.2.80 contains BUGS EXACLTLY SAME PROBLEMS and random REBOOT !!! with firmware v1.0.2.74 or v1.0.2.76 or v1.0.2.78 R7800 reboots randomly after boot up .... works...
Does support monitor these forums. It's really annoying. In AP mode the router is rebooting every few minutes. Absolutely ridiculous.
Are these issues happening just in AP mode or both in AP and router mode?

Thanks for your quick response Darren. My R7800 is in AP mode. I didn't have this issue when I was on 78 version of the firmware. I know I said it reboots but I cannot confirm that. All I can see is that the AP becomes unavailable every 30-45 minutes. The white light on the router becomes orange when there is outage. The outage lasts 3-5 minutes.
this is exactly what is also happening for my router in AP MODE
with theses firmwares
1.0.2.72
1.0.2.741.0.2.76
1.0.2.78
1.0.2.80
:/back to 1.0.2.68 works normally... :/
How do I go back to the old firmware?
Hello,
i have NO apple product...
i think all the problems of reboot is that the firmware contains many bugs and
a functionnality like "watchdog" automatically performs a RESET into some chips
inside the electronic board
