New firmware (V1.0.2.80) for the R7800
Some people here have reported problems with the V1.0.2.78 firmware on the R7800.
The browser graphical user interface (GUI) and the Genie for Windows tell me that there is now a V1.0.2.80 avai...
1.0.2.80 works for me in AP mode. So did 1.0.2.76. Never tried .78, Been up steady for a day, but I will watch it.
I download the update and perform the update in the GUI using an Ethernet connection.
I then hold in a paperclip in the back for 15 seconds and let the device reboot.
I set it up manually in AP mode - using a fixed IP address, not DHCP.
My other options are:
- use the WAN port for the connection to my router
- no DFS channels
- no Smart Connect
- Beamforming on
- no MU-MIMO
- no HT160
- no Media Servers
