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...
Thanks for the responses.
I think this issue is different than the one described in the link provided by Thornado.
The posts in that thread indicate the checkbox is disabled (grayed out) when SSID broadcast is disabled. In my case, SSID broadcast is enabled and so is the checkbox. When I uncheck the checkbox and click apply the setting doesn't stick.
And as Additude has suggested, I've tried multiple browsers (IE, Chrome, Chrome mobile, Samsung mobile browser) All behave the same.
And finally, as Shadowsports has recommended, I have rebooted the router a couple of times since updating the firmware.
Does anyone think Netgear will release any more updates for this aging model?
None of us know whether or not Netgear will release any more updates for the R7000. This is a Community Forum with as far as I know, zero input from Netgear themselves. It's seemingly taken long enough for Netgear to update from V1.0.9.88, an update I did not bother to upgrade to from my factory installed version, v.64 because I've only owned my router for two months before this new firmware arrived.
This latest firmware update is not causing me any issues whatsoever and my update went without a hitch. I get it that not everyone has an easy time of firmware updates, but anyone can mitigate certain issues just by carrying out some basic preparation prior to committing and pressing that upgrade box. I'm not even sure why anyone would need to carry out multiple reboots either, prior to or after updating. That said, I suppose this model has been out for some time and undoubtedly models manufactured in the last couple of years may well contain different chips/components than models manufactured a few years previously, and these factors may or may not have an influence. My R7000 was only manufactured in March last year, so perhaps it's in better shape than a model several years older.
