NETGEAR R7800 FIRMWARE v1.0.2.82
NETGEAR R7800 FIRMWARE v1.0.2.82 issues https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R7800/R7800-V1.0.2.82.zip BE CAREFUL / Read this : https://kb.netgear.com/000063040/R7800-Firmware-Version-1-0...
Hello
with v1.0.2.82 firmware (to test the firmware) be sure,
you can perfectly access normally to the router interface (GUI)
from your local aera network and configure it :smileyvery-happy:
but MY R7800 only works fine only with v1.0.2.68 firmware...
....Other than removing some features on v1.0.2.82
what I still can't figure out, is that
since the start of the new firmware series
v1.0.2.7x ......................... v1.0.2.8x
these firmwares are not working properly in AP mode on R7800,
- ...smart connect crash
- ...WIFI drops
- ....R7800 works 5 min and reboot.... works 5 min... reboot...
- ....losts internet connections
- ....R7800 reboots in loop after 5 minutes of operation ....
it's completely unbelievable for a high-end product (Nighthawk WiFi Router R7800)
build by a company as reputable as NETGEAR

Dear NETGEAR
this is the FIFTH firmware upgrade since v1.02.68 and the Router is still **bleep**ed up if you want to use in in AP mode. I mean you apparently DO work on "improvements"...How about a FIX!?!?!
Thanks for n...ahh forget it.
As this is mostly a user-to-user community, Netgear's minders aren't likely to see this unless you bring it to the attention of someone like Christian_R
It certainly deserves escalation, or at least an explanation as to how users can successfully put an R7800 into AP mode on new firmware.
Some people, well one, seem to have got it to work. So it should be possible. But how?
They do read this. I got a call from california(I am in germany) from l2 or l3 support and we went though the upgrade process. We were talking for almost 2 hours trying differnt settings and exchanging network traffic protocols with wireshark but after that nothing happened until today. Well, v1.0.2.82 was released...
The support ticket is still there.
