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 gave up on Netgear releasing a stable firmware, from my trusty 3500L, wndr3700 v1 and some older ones to my new paper weight R7000 (thank you netgear), btw I still have all my netgear stuff, yep never know when you going to need it, I purchased my last netgear product, if I'm going to spend over $150 on any product I expect a level of support, I understand hardware fails and I am ok with that, this wasn't a hardware failure unlike some of you like to believe, this was caused by the release of buggy firmware.
Been using Advance Tomato and is ok thusfar.
