R7000 5ghz Disappearing
Seems to be a lot of independent questions/discussions on or this topic or similar topics... Looking for someone to give me a definitive answer, so here's the question: - My R7000 periodically and ...
I've been running Firmware Version V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 for a few months now without any 5GHz dropping. The big tip that helped me, was after doing the firmware update, I did a factory reset to reset all of the settings to default, and it also forces the router to get new internal drivers for itself. Before I did this, I was always losing my 5GHz.
I have exchanged it. But I was running 1.1.64. I had been having problems with it since I got it new in Dec of 14. I just got my replacement Thursday morning all hooked up and flashed with 1.1.64. It's been 100% with no issues. My previous one would drop 5ghz after 1-2 days and it would not return unless I rebooted it. I also noticed I am getting a better signal through my house with the replacement. It appears to have been a hardware issue like tech support said. We'll see if she holds up for the long run.
