R7000 1.0.11.123 and 5Ghz
For those with older R7000 devices and have experinced intermittent and frequent wireless drops, especially in the 5GHz band, I think I may have a solution. After many, many, many times of trying to...
Yes. I saw several related and closed threads that I was unable to reply to. Hopefully this fix works for people that actually still rely on the R7000….. fascinating to me that Netgear support can’t take 5 minutes to post this stuff to the user forum; after YEARS!!!! of people having this problem. This is why my AX routers are not from Netgear.
As a long time R7000 user who has suffered disconnects from the firmware past .42, I am interested in your results. I currently use .123 and although the disconnects aren't as bad as some previous firmwares, I still get a disconnect every couple days, that results in me doing a soft reboot. I do think that it has something to do with the number of devices overwhelming the device.
I am going to test your suggestion as well.
Please let us know what you discover over a few weeks.
Another thing that I forgot to add that seems to help a little as well is setting the NTP to the proper time zone..for some reason, every firmware update resets to the wrong time zone.... I have a lot less disconnects once I figured that out and changed to my proper time zone setting....may be only a coincidence, but that seems to help as well.
