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.

  1. Install 1.0.11.134
  2. Modem rebooted as part of update process, came online
  3. Used paper clip to trigger Factory reset
  4. Waited for modem to come online (all LED's were lit white)
  5. Powered-off both R7000 and Cable modem, wated a few minutes
  6. Powered-up CM, it came online, waited for a minute and...
  7. ...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.
