Upgraded from 1.0.11.130 to 1.0.11.134. Update was performed using a PC wired to the router (I do not use their app). The upgrade process went through without a hitch, router rebooted and came back online.
The post-upgrade experience however was not pleasant. Experienced connection timeouts to websites (Google, for example) and, laggy Wi-Fi (2.4 Ghz, I don't use 5 Ghz, it's disabled). Tests were run using wired and wireless connections. Behavior was the same. Timeouts and lag was not specific to any on website, it was random.
Reverted back to 1.0.11.130 and everything went back to normal. Performed a hard reset just to be safe. Running smooth with 1.0.11.130 now.
The Advanced tab of the Admin page (192.16.1.1) appears to be screwed-up in firmware version 1.0.11.134. At least, it was for me. Clicking on the Advanced tab displays the Menu from the Basic tab, then an image that plugs their app and finally, the Advanced tab's menu options are displayed below the image. Tested using Firefox and Edge, the result was the same. After reverting to 1.0.11.130, menu options are back their respective tabs. Curious to see if anyone else experiences this.
Prior to 130, the router was rock solid on 1.0.11.128. Never had any hiccups with 128. I did have one spontaneous router reboot on version 1.0.11.130 about a week after updating to that version. Haven't had the happen since so I'm sticking with 1.0.11.130 for now.
Did you power OFF the ISP modem and router for 1 minute post v134 FW install?
Also a factory reset maybe needed as well post FW update as well as mentioned in the FW update notes.
I did both. I failed to mention that I had powered down my modem and, factory reset is what I meant when I wrote "hard reset". Here's details on the steps I took.
- Install 1.0.11.134
- Modem rebooted as part of update process, came online
- Used paper clip to trigger Factory reset
- Waited for modem to come online (all LED's were lit white)
- Powered-off both R7000 and Cable modem, wated a few minutes
- Powered-up CM, it came online, waited for a minute and...
- ...powered R7000 on
I had to go through initial setup on the R7000, set admin password and so on. Also reset SSID, passcode etc. Tested internet access after all of that was completed.
Repeated that sequence when I downgraded to 1.0.11.130. If it works out for someone else then I'm open to trying 1.0.11.134 again.
Thanks for confirming the details.
Web Gui screwed up the layout in advanced tab. The iframe is to small.
It shows only very few in height especially on tablets.
The iframe height needs to be corrected.
Everything else works fine and after switching German Language to English and back that it updates the language pack's include English, most other layout errors was fixed.
Online search for update did not find this updated Firmwareversion but upload manually worked just fine.
Nice to see updates from time to time for this router. Thanks!
There a screen capture of what your seeing?

I corrected it with an browser script on client side which makes iframes resizable.
The other layout problems solved by switching the language so that it updates the language files.
