This just in: R7800 Firmware Version 1.0.2.90 | Answer | NETGEAR Support Enhancements: Remove Funjsq for PR SKU. Whatever that means.

Just updating this to let everyone know that NG has fixed the GUI update MD5 error seen on this version of FW. Users can try to check for FW updates again using the routers web page and if the GUI is reporting needing updating, proceed and it will complete successfully now.

PR SKU (country code PR) does apply products intended for the Chinese market. 1. Funjsq is a download accelerator that is embeded within the firmware. 2. Funjsq is from China. (Google funjsq or Funjsq.com) 3. Funjsq is enabled only if QoS is enabled. Note: Funjsq was replaced by XunYou to PR SKU e.g. on the R6700AX (-> https://kb.netgear.com/000064298/R6700AX-Firmware-Version-1-0-10-110)

It appears to be related to qos - Still looking. At first I thought it was related to Java Script.https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Model-R6260-firmware-Update-How-do-you-stop-Funjsq-in-order-to/td-p/1983326

Is anyone else encountering problems with the 5G Wifi on the latest firmware version 1.0.2.90? Today I’ve tried for the second time to upgrade from .84. This time I’ve tried .90, few months ago I tried .86. Both .86 and .90 result in a very unreliable connection with my Netgear Extender EX7500. The connection between the two is great on firmware .84, around 650Mbps and green bows. On .86 and .90 it gets 48Mbps and red bows. It’s frustrating me not to know what this causes. It seemed to work for a short wile on the DFS channel 128, but radar channels always force the router to use non-DFS channels (also on firmware .84 and below). There hasn’t been an update for the EX7500 for a while, probably it needs one to deal with the R7800’s new firmware?

    Does the R7800 works with out the EX7500 being online?
    
    What is the distance between the 7800 and EX extender?
