NOTE: Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
NOTE: Its recommended to install a USB laptop cooler under the router for 24/4 cooling. Helps keep the router cool and helps avoid heat damage to the electronics.

- Just updated today and it works fine.
Caution:
Updated my R9000 to V1.0.5.42 and now WIFI is non-functional.
Connection lights are off, Wifi button is illuminated, Wireless OFF in control, No wifi signal.
Pressing (and holding) physical button provides no results.
Reset multiple times and re-installed firmwareDid you power OFF the router for 1 minute after pressing the reset button for 10 seconds then release?
Physical Button will turn on and off blue LEDs and will disable wireless enablement in the website.
2.4, 5 and 60GHz show as enabled in wireless settings
After a while 60GHz signal light turns on, but 2.4 and 5 stay off and no signal found
Factory Reset from website: no changes.
10 second reset button with 1 min off: no changes
Was working just fine this morning and the last while.
1.0.5.42 broke ReadyCloud. Could not access my USB HDD from the internet. downgraded to 1.0.5.40 and it's working again.
Can this be fixed?

Thanks for your response. I have not performed a Factory Reset and setup from scratch. I have not done this in the past and generally do not perform factory resets on my phone, computers or watch unless there is a catastrophic failure. If downgrading the firmware does not work, I will look for another solution. Bob.
