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.
My unit just drops the 2.4 GHz band and requires a restart. I would like to automate this action through the interface. Does not appear possible. This is my last Netgear purchase.
turned on my old Asus AC68p again and it is working faboulously with upto date firmware for security.
Bye bye netgear. I'm returning my office's router as well. Can't trust this company to provide secure network for my work.
I'm sticking to switches only for Netgear until they improve. Hope they do. People here seem very nice people. They deserve better product and support than this.
