Hi Guys,

 

What did you do exactly to upgrade ?

You have to be careful because firmware upgrade is alway a risky process...

 

I upgraded offline my R7000 from my old 1.0.4.18 to 1.0.7.6 without any trouble.

Even all my parameters have been kept.

Only the GUI interface required an online update...

    Mine updated from 1.0.7.2 to 1.0.7.6 with no issue either, EXCEPT that it was pingable from the Internet and the selection was grayed out.  I had to reset the router to clear it up.
