R7000: corrective firmware. Why is it taking so long????
Hello, Just wondering why oh why, after releasing such a buggy firmware, is it taking Netgear so long to release something that would come *close* to a stable corrective firmware?? So many users are...
I think they are aiming to get something out before the end of the year. It takes time to test a release and, like you said, they don't want to release something buggier. Besides, it's holiday season. Get them a break. I think they know they messed up this release. Just downgrade and be patient.
If you are fed up with stock firmware, there are plenty of 3rd party options: DD-WRT, AsusWRT-Merlin, Tomato. Like Jim769 said, the hardware is great.
Actually I'm really thinking about changing and using DD-WRT, Kong... Was happy with DD-WRT and my old Netgear, so what the hell... Thought I was going to stick with the Netgear firmware though but it doesn't look good.
And I'm sorry but when you release something that so buggy, the priority N°UNO is to release something stable FAST. Because users aren't face with a little problem, like the colour display or something that trivial. Way way more **bleep**ty than that. So Netgear engineers should work double time and release a REAL firmware now... Like yesterday...
