R7000 5ghz not working correct with the newest firmware.
Dear,forummembers I have the folowong question. I have a nighthawk R7000 with the newest firmware. There are difficulties with the 5ghz band i have discovered. Is this possibly a bad bug in the f...
Okay, I am working with Firmware Version
V1.0.5.62_1.1.87 and all seems to be working as it should.I have tried all different settings and all work.
Thanks for all the great beta firmware upgrades.
Thanks for your help.
I have Ziggo with the Horizon mediabox as internetprovider.
The Horizon mediabox is also a router,i have edited some security settings by my self in that mediabox.
Now i have removed my Nighthawk router,and all wireless connections are working fine on 5ghz on the Horizon box.
Nou i have only connected my sattelite receiver bij cable on my Horizonbox and my home cinemaset because my home cinemaset does not support 5ghz wireless,and my sattelite receiver has no wifi build in.
Netgear is making good devices,but now i'm sorry that i use the Nighthawk router no longer for now.
Hi Biggy28,
The firmware has been removed from support site. We recommend to revert to firmware version 1.0.4.30 which is available in support site.

I have down graded to the recomended version R7000_V1.0.4.30_1.1.67. And everything connects at 2.4 only.
No matter what settings/channels I use, I now cannot get 5g to work at all.
Other than that it is working great and reliable. Just no 5g.
I have tried all the things like unpluging, rebooting, resetting, and every option in the settings.
When I used firmware R7000_V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 my wireless cameras stopped working every time i turned on the guest network.
If I left it off, cameras work fine.
When I used version R7000-V1.0.5.48_1.1.79, my port forwarding did not work and crashed my cameras.
All I want is to get what I paid for.
I finally found a way to get the 5g to work. I had to lower the Wireless Network 5GHz a/n/ac mode from 1300 Mbps to 600 Mbps, in the wireless setup, and use channel 153. A work around, but seems to finally work with version V1.0.4.30_1.1.67
