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!
The second hot fix they provided appears to be working. I guess I'll know in a few days for sure. So far no drops in 48 hours.
What is the second hotfix? which version of software?
thnx
Oertje, the second hot fix was a special beta firmware that we haven't yet posted because engineering is still testing it. If you're interested in testing that version, please send me a private message.
Tn77, I'm very happy to hear that's working for you so far. Please let us know if you experience any problems. Thank you again for raising this issue and for your willingness to help us solve this for all the people on this thread!
thanks, but now is my router 24 hour ok. I'll wait
