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...
I thought after netgear released 1.0.10.xx and crashed some r7000.. they took the time to get this firmware correct. I was so eager to upgrade to this fw hoping the 5g crashing issue would be fixed sigh
Yea it sucks.... I did go 72hrs before it croaked which is more than any other after 1.0.9.42.... I guess that's a positive. 🙄. I'll digress and see what the next 72hrs brings.
I did another Factory Reset and then updated the firmware to 1.0.11.100 and did a reboot. QOS and Traffic Meter are disabled. I bought two brand new Cat6 cables and ran one from the Google Fiber Network Box to the R7000 WAN port. When I bring up the Router Status and look at the Internet Port box and click Show Statistics it shows the WAN is only connecting at 100M/Full. I would expect to see this be at 1000M/Full.
Does anyone know how to get this to go back to 1000M/Full?
- Another thing i noticed.. i have fios 400/400 and with the fw upgrade, i was only getting about 400/200.. after downgrading back to .42 i was getting the full 400/400 again
I don't think anyone can pretend this new firmware update is perfect. Indeed I've experienced an issue others have discovered, i.e. the 'Enable Router PIN' cannot be unchecked because when 'Apply' is pressed, it just stays checked. Clearly a software bug that needs addressing.
I actually had a drop out last night, but that was an ISP issue. The current Covid lockdown is clearly having a major effect on the amount of users on the internet. My Draytek Vigor 130k modem dropped out causing me to lose connectivity. When the internet came back up, I logged into the admin page and discovered that the NTP server had dropped and was showing the wrong time and date. The warning highlighted in red at the top of the NTP settings box has typos in it. I'm not defending Netgear here at all. There shouldn't be typos or poor use of English anywhere, it's sloppy and looks unprofessional. Netgear need to get their developers to have a look at this latest release and check it again.
As for the bones of the firmware update itself, well personally, I'm not having any issues with it and there's really not much else I could say. Obviously other users don't appear to be so lucky, I'm just baffled why some owners are claiming to be experiencing major problems when others aren't.
