R7000 2.4ghz not working but 5ghz is fine
Firmware 1.0.4.30 and 1.0.4.28 tried for weeks at a time.
Wireless devices connected to 5ghz band are all working perfectly and have been since i purchased this router at the beginning of June ...
Good news! We now have a production version of firmware that should resolve the 2.4 GHz issue, v1.0.5.64. You may download this firmware from our R7000 page here: http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000#searchResults
As IrvSp correctly notes, this version of firmware fixes the 2.4 GHz issue and reinstates the new features, such as Kwilt, Smart Connect, and WiFI Transmit Power Control. It does not support Arlo. We hope to have a beta version that supports Arlo in the next two weeks.
We welcome any feedback you provide on this new firmware, and appreciate your patience as we resolved these issues. Thank you all for supporting the R7000 and NETGEAR!

FAILED this evening. That setting didn't help.
Just pushing the hardware button (for 2 seconds) on the R7000 to turn off wifi, then waiting 10 seconds, then pressing it again to turn wifi back on fixes the problem and the devices can again connect to 2.4G. No other changes or anything else.
Rebooting it from the user interface also corrects the issue. But only until the next time it fails.
Right, but rebooting causes the entire router to reset. I was adding that just pushing the button fixes the issues which might help isolate the problem, since it is just the wifi that is disabled and then reenabled. The router keeps going with wired with no issues, and 2.4G is fixed without reboot.
Hi,
This was also for me the solution!!! Thanks, before I did that my whole router was unstable en also portforwarding.
After upgrade software router: router unstable even after reset.
Now stable after pushing wifi button.
