Problem with firmware update on R7900P
After installing firmware update V1.4.2.84 on router R7900P-100NAS am experiencing dropped communications or delayed response when interfacing with the network with WiFi on Windows 10. Do not seem to have the same problem with ethernet connection nor do I seem to have a problem when using WiFi on the iPad. Have tried rebooting the Cable Modem, the router and waiting to bring up the Wifi on the PC but problem continues to persist. Any suggestions to rectify or if anybody else is having issues would like to know.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
