R7000 5ghz not working correct with the newest firmware.

Glad to hear that it's working.

Thanks for updating us!

Well I thought all was okay until I got up this morning and realized  my  ip cameras have been cutting off and on all night, and today my cameras randomly keep going offline.  I use this for my security and now the cameras stopped being reliable. They are hooked up to an NVR and should record 24/7.

 I may have to go back to the other version.  I am trying different settings to see if it helps, but so far no luck.

The newest beta works perfect on everything except the cutting on and off of my cameras.

I tried several different combinations of settings and still have same results. The 5 g is working but I cannot have my cameras doing this.  I will have to go back to version R7000-V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 and use the work around mentioned above.

 Please let me know if you come up with another beta version to try.  I am swithching back to version R7000-V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 today.

So I switched back to the old non-beta version R7000-V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 and all the cameras are back to staying online, but I still have to lower my Mbps to 600 on the 5GHz to get it to work.  It shares channels 153(P)  + 149(S) and my tablet will now use the available 5GHz band.

 The two beta versions bot work Okay except the 2.4GHz cameras keep cutting off.  This does not happen with R7000-V1.0.4.30_1.1.67

I hope this is helpful in coming up with a better beta version.

Hi D-F,

Thanks, I am on day one with version V1.0.5.64_1.1.88 and so far I have not found a combination of settings that keep the cameras from cutting out. I will keep trying and watching for a day or two and report back.

 I figured out after testing version V1.0.5.64_1.1.88 for 1 week, that if I use the following settings, my 2.4Ghz ip cameras stay on for the most part, and only cut out occasionally.  And my 5GHz devices work fine with 5G.

  The settings are the following....... Under wireless setup I have Smart connect disabled, I enable ssid broadcast, enable 20/40 MHz coexistence, and wpa-psk [AES].  If I un-check 20/40 MHz, I get interference from neighbors wifi and cameras cut on and off very often.  I have channel 1 selected.

  I also found I get the best results when I set the following in the advanced wireless settings..... Under (2.4GHz b/g/n I have enabled wireless router radio, Fragmentation length set at 420, CTS/RTS Threshold at 421, and choose long preamble.  Under (5GHz a/n/ac), enable wireless router radio, fragmentation length at 2346, CTS/RTS at 2347.  Using channel 157.

 I have enabled implicit beam forming and disabled airtime fairness.

  In the advanced setup, under UPnP I have  the advertisement period (in minutes) set to 1 and the advertisement Time to Live (in hops set to 255.

  Any other settings make the cameras go offline constantly.

  Hope this is helpful....D-F.
