New Firmware upgrade R7000
I applied the new firmware upgrade and noticed a decline in speed in upload and download , is this normal. Will there be a fix?
Which firmware did you upgrade to?
Did you do a factory reset/reinstall after the update?
What speeds were you getting? And now?
Are thos speeds over 2.4gh? 5gh? wired?
How are you testing speeds? (device, website, app, etc)
I did a power cycle, a reset and reboot also, did not change anything. Is they’re a way to go back to previous firmware?
- I’m thinking it’s an issue with the phone app, because even my devices list is missing entries

Downgrading firmware is easy. Simply go to the support site for your device. click on downloads, then +view previous versions. then download the version you want. Follow the manual firmware update process but instead of using the newer firmware, use the version you downloaded.
plemans I just noticed today on my Nighthawk app, that v.1.0.11.126 has just been released. This is the first time I think that a firmware update has actually appeared on my app. Obviously, I won't be using the app to do the firmware upgrade! I've not upgraded yet but will do so later today when my Wife has finished work. Looking at the release notes with the fixes, there's quite a few but I've not looked at them all to see how it affects my own router.
