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.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm thinking about testing this as well, however, I'd like to know did you do an in-place upgrade from your previous firmware, or did you upgrade > factory reset > reconfigure all settings?
I always just do an inplace upgrade, no resets, manually reload settings or any of that. You can always fall back to that approach if somethings doesnt work, but its a lot quicker just to upgrade in place. Over the past many years, I've done 200+ firmware upgrades over numerous router brands and only once did I have issues that caused me to go back to the reset, manually reload settings route.
Thank you, SkyOwl. Appreciate your reply.
You can't argue with stupid!
