R7000 BETA 1.0.6.40 ..........SOS..........Different version #
I was somewhat excited to hear that a Beta was being passed around today. 1.0.6.40 So I downloaded and installed it correctly. I entered my settings while off line using a wired connection. The 1st ...
With last Pulled version I had successfully disabled ARLO via arlo setup. Several days later I turn 2.4 off from the advanced wireless settings menu and arlo popped up.
This time with the latest FW I again successfully turned it off from the arlo setup page and when pushing the front button the main SSID's turned off and arlo popped up.
I have no interest in testing Jack Squat any further. If and when I need to use the r7000 I'll once again go thru the whole fricken default, reset , powercyle and while facing fricken mecca install 1.0.4.30 again.
For me 6.40 is working great.
Using two R7000's, one as main router and other as AP. Connecting around 35 devices, wired and wireless mix, 2 port forwards, 1gb readyshare disk. Fastest version so far for internet browsing & gaming, very smooth. No connection issues with any of my wireless devices. My IP cameras and printers are solid and not nearly as fiesty as they sometimes were on previous versions. Cellphones, tablets, kindles, chromecast, amazon echo, etc. are all solid.
For ARLO, I suppose if you have arlo devices your happy the service defaults on, if you don't use arlo devices you're not. Don't really apreciate the "issue" since its easy to turn on/off via the gui...no I don't use any arlo devices and the arlo service is turned off.
Never experienced the stated stall issue if you use 2.4 devices (I use around 20 2.4 devices). However I mess around with settings periodically, usally requiring a router reboot,j so maybe uptime was never on long enough to trigger issue.
So you're all ok with Arlo turning on when you use the botton on front or by tunring the 2.4 off. I might add the output is 12 db higher than other 2.4 signals were before turning 2.4 off.
