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, sorry have missed to report in that it is working on both channels now, but i dont know if it was a factory reset or new firmware that did the job

Has anyone installed the new firmware release 1.0.76 whis has the fix for Security Advisory VU 582384? Due to the 2.4 Ghz issue I have been running old firmware for a long time. I want to know if this new release has any 2.4 Ghz issues before I install it. Many of my wireless devides do not support 5Ghz.
RoadyBoy, my thoughts exactly! I hope the new firmware fixes the security issue as well as maintains function of the 2.4 Ghz band. But I am unwilling to invest the time and effort to find out. Dealing with the loss of 2.4 Ghz band a year ago was a huge time waster. I've been on firmware V1.0.4.28_1.1.64 ever since I found out that solved the problem. It has been unclear whether any firmware since then has restored function.
After the 2.4G issues I reverted back to V1.0.4.28_1.1.64 and had been running that since, but with the latest security issues I decided to upgrade.
I've been running V1.0.7.6_1.1.99 for four days now with no issues on 2.4G... fingers crossed.
