I have an R7000 operating with firmware version V1.0.11.116_10.2.100

 

When I try to manually update the firmware (because automatic update does not work) to any version above V1.0.11.116_10.2.100 I get an error about 10 seconds into the download stating "192.168.1.1 didn't send any data"

 

I have tried a factory reset and I get the same results. I have tried disabling QoS and get the same results.

 

I have tried uploading an older version of firmware, as one of the other articles suggests, and I get the same results.

 

Not sure what to do now.  Any help would be appreciated.

andrewtmartin   Can only echo what plemans has suggested.

You could also probably do yourself an enormous favour and buy a modern up to date router. Just read through the multiple threads about issues relating to the R7000 AC1900 and you might wonder whether it's worth the continued hassle. Sorry if that's a rather negative response, but I've gone from initially being quite a fan of the R7000, to now rather loathing it enough to buy an new AX router with a more user friendly GUI.
