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!
I was running AdvancedTomato and thought I would try the new beta. 5ghz band is about 50% through put, so back to AdvancedTomato until Netgear can produce a functioning firmware
I honestly can't see it being Netgears firmware but you never know, unless there is a batch of routers that have with certain hardware configuration issues. I know quite a few people with R7000 routers and no one has issues like this. Maybe it's to do with returning from third party firmwares? I am totally lost on this.
