Does the new firmware resolve the intermittent dropout issue?
My R7000 drops all attached devices once every three weeks or so. Only a reboot resumes connectivity. Sometimes it takes more than 1 reboot. Been using it 1 year on the "67" firmware.

Curious, are you using 2.4ghz, or 5ghz? If 2.4ghz, have you selected a channel, for 2.4ghz?

thanks for replying netwrks!
i enable both the 2.4 and 5 radios. a few older devices connect to the former but most of my other devices are on the 5 radio. i use ch 11 for 2.4 and 149+ for the 5. also, both radios are set to a max speed limit of 600mb/s.
i see in this thread that some users have reverted to an even older firmware version and are happy with it?
