Problems after updating R8000 firmware
I have a pc which only connects to the 2Ghz band but since updating the firmware it has very poor signal & drops out constantly. Other devices are connecting ok? Any known issues or fixes?

Hi Reenio,
Please perform a factory reset and power cycle on the router after a successful firmware update. I also suggest making sure that the driver for the adapter of the computer is up to date. You may also use the Wi-Fi Analytics feature of the NETGEAR Genie app if you have it installed or any similar program to check for interferences and select the best channel.
