New firmware for the R7800 - v1.0.2.90
This just in:
R7800 Firmware Version 1.0.2.90 | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Enhancements:
Remove Funjsq for PR SKU.
Whatever that means.
Well 15 feet maybe too close and 30 feet would be a starting point. However with concrete in the mix, maybe something thats causing problems.
Might try the extender maybe 5-10 feet farther away if you can...

Yeah, the R7800 works, is online and speedtests give the same result as they did under firmware version .84. I gave the EX7500 a few factory resets. It didn't want to talk with the R7800 with WPS, but eventually a manual setup did the trick. They are now back to their old selves with a steady connection between 585-650Mbps. They're about 15 feet apart. The extender is hanging just around the corner in my hallway, so the only thing in between is a concrete wall / cardboard filled door, depending on how the signal travels.
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.
Wired speeds are good.
WIreless 5Ghz is great. Have 160Mhz enabled on the R7800 connected with a ASUS GT-AX11000 in wireless bridge mode:
Smart Connect enabled on manual channel 1 and 40. Beamorming and MIMO and HT160 enabled. CTS 2347.
Do you happen to use Traffic Meter on this version of FW?
Just curious...I'm using on my R7800 and it's enabled for No Limit and I'm not seening any updated Traffic specs being updated in this section. All zeros. I've had mine on since earlier this week and theres has been lots of data flow since then.

No. I can turn it on and see what happens.
