I am also having this issue. R7900P. I've been waiting for an update from Netgear for months but maybe they don't support it anymore? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I presume since the 7900 series hit EoL, I doubt NG will be forth coming with any fixes for these models:

Best suggestions would be to downgrade to prior working version of FW.

Find some 3rd party FW that you can use, i.e. OpenWRT or DD-WRT.

Punt and get you something new.

    Thanks. Softpedia had older versions I was able to install. 1.4.3.88_1.3.50 worked.

        Can I get this Beta Firmware as well to fix my LAN MAC address issue?  I've got the R8000P and my current firmware is 1.4.4.94_1.3.56 and I am on Windows 11.  Also, since this Beta Firmware has been used for a few months now has anyone ran into any issues with it, besides the slightly added latency thing? 

         

        Thank you.
