R6700v3 Firmware Update 1.0.4.118_10.0.90
--- Check for updates --- Gives me the following information but I cannot find any info and/or verify it on Netgear website: (just checking if it's legit and safe to execute the install) --- ...
- Looks like this firmware is OK! Never heard from Netgear, but they posted the release notes to their website: https://kb.netgear.com/000063867/R6700v3-Firmware-Version-1-0-4-118
We probably just stumbled on the update a bit before they intended us to.
This firmware update also caused miscellaneous issues with my router, DNS problems, dropped connections, etc. I reverted back to V1.0.4.106_10.0.80 to resolve it. I hope Netgear is working on this.
In addition to all of the above problems, speed drops to half. I'm on the Comcast 400 Mbs plan and consistantly get 440 to 480 down, depending on time of day. After update, 279 tops. Factory reset and revert back to previous release - problem solved.
