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!
Hi,
I have updated to the firmware provided (1.0.6.40) but I am still not able to get my devices online on the 2.4GHz. They show up under the attached devices, but have no hostname associated and don't get an IP address. They worked on 1.0.4 and 1.0.5, and not in 1.0.6.28 so something broke the 2.4GHz in this release.
Starting to doubt that this issue will be fixed or is even being addressed, since it is still present in the Beta.
Did you hard reset the router and enter settings manually? I have had no issue with 2.4Ghz on any builds recently. Also if under warranty it could be hardware.
