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...
Yes the WPS unable to be disabled is a ongoing issue with the R7000. It's a shame they did not fix this in this latest firmware build but really not surprising. And yes having WPS enabled is a security issue but not as bad as others. But none the less how could they have over looked this considering it has been brought to Netgears attention for quite some time. Sorry folks after it's Netgear. LOL
I have been on V1.0.11.100_10.2.100 since last 3 days now -
I upgraded from v1.0.8.x
after upgrading some devices would connect to the wifi, but wouldn't run the internet
took a while to troubleshoot that as only 2 devices were not working, one a smnart tv and another smamsun s7, the rest of the stuff was fine
after that read somewhere that some firmware versions are incompatible - so did a factory reset -
after that things were fine
today however - it hung up twice - all the devices were connected to the wifi but not internet - but I couldn't even get into the admin panel - the led lights did not indicate that internet was down
had to restart the router both times to get everything working
considering rolling back to 1.0.8.x if this keep happening
- Thats the same problem with most of us. The devices would show connected to wifi but no internet access. I noticed when that happens, the light on the 5g band doesnt blink much. When my devices are working fine, the light blinks continuously.
Is there a way I can confirm this is strictly a firmware issue vs damaged hardware? I ask because in my case I over drve the wireless radios under DD-WRT. The output power wasn't limited like it was on stock firmware and I wanted to see what all the hardware could do. Similar to overclocking a CPU.
Anyone have any clue why the apply button did not appear on initial setup with the username/password security questions with this firmware and I had to use the app instead to get past that point?

considering rolling back to 1.0.8.x if this keep happeningI have found so far that hitting forget network on your devices and readding them, seems to help with connection issues for particular devices.. not sure if that is going to be foolproof, but so far it has worked. It is almost like the router sees the old connection as some kind of conflict and redoing it seems to fix it.

Thanks I will try that - last night I did 2 things -
1- I noticed that NTP settings had an error - it couldn't reach the netgear NTP server and router date time was mismatched, I set that up to a google NTP server
2- I reinstalled the latest firmware - just to make sure that it installs correctly (last time I updated the firmware, I didn't restart the router before the update - as indicaed in the readme for this firmware)
Lets see, if this still happens - will forget and add on all deviceslast resort would be to try and downgrade the firmware back to 1.08.x
Well, after dealing with this update the last few days, I am most likely going back to .42. I keep having various devices losing connection and then having a hard time getting them to reconnect to the network. I have had a few reboots as well, but that has not been the biggest issue. If I could just keep devices from losing the network and then refusing to connect back, it would not be so frustrating.
I really wish Netgear would get their act together on their firmware stability. Or at least issue guidance on what firmware works best, especially if there are differences with the devices in how they are manufactured.
