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 have tried everything mentioned here following every advice carefully to no avail, I'm using my old wndr3700v1, yep another netgear product, hopefully that one doesn't go bad on me like the r7000, oh my bad i would have to flah the messed up netgear firmware for that to happen.
I even tried 3rd party firmware and still can only connect to 5g not to 2.4
I'm done with netgear.
Hardware dies, it happens it could also happen to any make of router you buy. I'm sorry it happened to you but its one of those things. All hardware dies eventually.
