R7000 Drops WiFi signal every 2-7 days or so. Firmware: V1.0.9.88_10.2.88
Hi All, I have loved this router for years, but over the last year it seems the wifi is dropping every 2-7 days or so. I don't think its traffic, there are 4 houses around my house, however, ...
Thanks for the response...
That is a very good question, "wired or wifi" drops? I could easily test that and did not.
Would that make a difference in your response? I do have a HTPC attached wired, and I could test that next time it drops and see if its still working.
As to version 136, I did see that. I looked through the posts and the last one says this:
"These type of posts keeps me from NOT upgrading beyond V1.0.9.42_10.2.44. Even known this release is old and has security vulnerabilities. But having great hardware with flaky software .... not the route I like go again.
V1.0.9.42_10.2.44 is stable as a rock. Tried and died on several releases after. Unless a majority can confirm that a current release is fine and rock sold. I don't want to go over the pain for flashing and reboot and get so angry family birds picking on me."
Is it a stable version?
I haven't seen much negative reports on the newer versions now.
I'd give it a try.
Install the firmware and do a factory reset and clean install (not from backup)
