Hi Routermania17,
Try changing the channel of 5Ghz. If still the same, reset and reconfigure.
Thank for your email James GL. Do you believe a new firware could still be available soon ?
Hi Routermania17,
The issue on both 5Ghz-1 and 5Ghz 2?
I tried everything but nothing...
Hope for a new firmware..
We upgraded a client to this firmware today and are also experiencing multiple and frequent disconnects on WiFi. We are going to have to roll back to a previous version.
Having the same issue. Resetting the router a couple of times a day to keep the wifi working. Is there any way to notify Netgear directly that this is an issue?
Has anyone tried the DD-WRT firmware?
I tried to connect to the 5GHZ band but it said wrong password even though it was correct..
I tried to connect 4 times typing the password till it connected.. Anyone experiencing this issue ?
Hello All,
Here is my issue, I have the latest firmware update and since that update I have had a terrible time staying connected or getting any of the download or upload speeds I am paying for. I had an Xfinity guy come out and dissconnect the router and test the modem and am getting on avearge download speeds of 250mbps and uploads of around 11 - 12mbps. Once we connect the router it drops to 40mbps - 60mbps,
I have reset the router, I have disconnected everything and redid set up and still the same issue. I have talked a a few trusted colleauges and they mentioned the latest update Version:1.0.3.54_1.1.37 is causing these issues and I need to rollback to the previous firware release.
Any advice or reccomendations would be very helpful. Thanks
Brian
