R7000 DLNA Enable Option
Hi all,
Perhaps you someone could point me at location of Enable/Disable DLNA server option in latest "V1.0.9.88" revision of firmware of R7000 (AC1900) Nighthals Router. I recall that some of the ...

mkonstantin, I didn't miss the point. I don't have an active R7000 so I can't tell if it is there or not?
It wouldn't surprise me if NG messed it up. Like the screen shot I posted the removed items were on that page. Some probably untrained programmer removed the function and the web page to enable it. Probably was CLUELESS as to what DLNA was so removed the whole page. Code is probably still in the f/w, but no way to enable it.
All I can say complaining here and HOPING NG people report this back and get it fixed is a crap shoot.
DarrenMcan you get this fixed as soon as possible?
Your fix for now, go back to V1.0.9.42 I'd think, .60, .64, and .88 all have serious problems for many user's in varying ways.

I have checked and DLNA was removed from the R7000 in the .88 firmware. And we are aware of the other issues that are causing disconnects on the R7000 and are working on the issues.

Thanks for that. I hope they can resolve it. My R7000 with DLNA has performed flawlessly in the nearly 2 years I've had it. I realise that it not meant for server functions directly but my NAS doesn't handle music serving with my Bose Sound touch at all well and the R7000 Readshare was perfect!
