R7000 dropping 5Ghz randomly
I was transitioned to work from home so I was able to finally notice this, but my 5Ghz connection on my router occasionally drops. During the course of my 9-10 hour shift, the connection drops around...
the general agreed upon decent firmware for the R7000 is 1.0.9.42.
the recently released version is still waiting feedback but the initial results aren't any better from what I've seen.
What modem is it from xfinity?
Try installing that firmware, factory reset again, and make sure to manually install.
v104 has been very stable for me. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who ventures ahead to v106 on your experience after a few weeks of running it. I'm hesitant to wake a sleeping dog right now.
Sorry i had issues on every firmware past .42 so i wont be able to provide any feedback haha. Though i did upgrade to .106 for a day.. everything seems fine for a day until i had two random reboots within an hour of each other. I checked the router logs and confirmed the router restarted. Back to .42 again while i wait for my asus rt-ax88u to come in.
