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!
Ouch! Was that painful! 23 devices that had to be setup again. Took one day to figure out what happened and another to get most back online. Many not easy like cameras that must be dismounted and taken to a PC to determine the new IP address.
I'll never push the Update button again and probably never buy Netgear again. Shame on them. Can't imagine what happened to businesses that put their trust in them.
Everything was fine for more than 2 years until the latest firmware but it gaves me so much trouble that I too will not buy another Netgear rooter.
