New R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.100
It's been a while but finally NG has released a new firmware for R7000! :smileyhappy: R7000 Firmware V1.0.11.100_10.2.100 Download: https://kb.netgear.com/000061805/R7000-Firmware-Version-1-0...
Has anyone observed if this fixes the R7000 5g dropping connection issue in .88? I rolled back to .42. Thank you.
- Well, I installed it today and then this evening my wife and I each ran a zoom with friends for almost 4 hrs and both my kids played fortnite online. No drops so far. 🤞🏻
Well it's been 24 hours since I carried out the firmware upgrade and thus far I've encountered zero problems. I've checked my logs, no dropped connections, absolutely rock solid. But then all this said, I had no issues on v.64.
If anything, for me, upgrading the firmware was just the sensible thing to do from a security point of view, especially as in my locale, we're in lockdown and I'm spending a huge amount of time online. If Netgear have done security and GUI tweaks to the R7000 and they work, then that's good enough for me. I suspect for the vast majority of us who upgrade, we will experience few issues, if any. I'm not going to lie, I had serious reservations about upgrading the firmware, but I put all of the bad stuff I've read on this community about other firmwares to one side and cracked on. For the sake of a couple of minutes preparation for personal preference on disabling WiFi, anti-virus, VPN and unnecessary cabling and rebooting prior to upgrade, it was a painless process if I'm honest.
At the end of the day, it's all about choices and no one is forcing or preaching to anyone to upgrade from their present firmware if that is what they're happy with.
Well, for a lot of people it'skind of a "Hit or Miss" situation when it comes to FW upgrades so eliminating as many variables as possible is a good practice.
Don't forget, what works for one version upgrade for one piece of equipment isn't necessarilly going to have the same results with a different version upgrade on the same equipment. So I'm in favor of eliminating as many variables as possible....which does what? Adds maybe 10-15 minutes to the process? For me, that's cheap insurance.
