R7000 Firmware Bug 1.0.6.28
The other night, I flashed the firmware, as the router notified me of an update to version 1.0.6.28_1.1.83. After doing so, my wife's laptop will no longer connect to the home 2.4 GHz network; howev...
So far, so good. I just flashed my R7000 and it even kept my modified IP settings, so I don't have to modify those parameters. It appears to "see" the connected devices, and my Samsung printer works on the IP that was assigned. If I notice any glitches, I'll post again. Also, will Arlo be in the final version and off by default?
Thank you.
I am running into the same problem on that version. The 5Ghz band seems OK, but the 2.4Ghz clients can't connect. If I reboot the router, the 2.4Ghz clients can connect for a day or two. Hopefully, there will be a firmware update to fix this one fairly soon.
No problem with 2.4 or 5g other than a problem ( on one PC ) after update 2.4 would not connect. It was resolved by deleting or forgetting prior connection.
Been using it since last Sunday
hopefully this is being monitored by netgear because I just updated to the 1.0.6.28_1.1.83 release and now my wireless devices are dropping connections.
It was fine with the previous release.

This is well known. Perform a factory reset and reconfigure by hand.
after reading more and more I disabled the new Arlo feature (did not notice that was added) and that has, so far, stopped the wifi from dropping. no reboot or factory reset.
performing a factory reset just seems like poor flash development or implementation.
then some comments about restoring exported settings does not even work, that is even worse! which to means means they changed the backend so much there was no conversion table implemented for settings. will look into this more.
