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.
Can you guys try this new beta FW v1.0.5.60 and report back?
Please let us know if you are still experiencing the 2.4Ghz not working and/on any 2.4Ghz WiFi stability issues.
This beta FW release does not include Arlo integration.

Probably it'll have it but the focus right now is to fix what needs to be done on the firmware before adding the Arlo feature.
Glad to hear that your network is up and running. Feel free to give us an update should you encounter problems.
Have a great day!
I've been running the beta version since I last posted and have not noticed any problems. I have even worked on some laptops for friends and have used the guest network.
me too :)
What is about beta V1.0.6.40_1.1.90 version? is it going to be replaced with normal relese enny time soon?
Hi incarvr6,
There is a new beta firmware you can use for your R7000. Beta firmware version v1.0.5.60. Check the post of ElaineM.
Yes but V1.0.6.40 is higher that 1.0.5.60 !!!??? or im missing something???
My guess is that the 1.0.5 stream contains new features over 1.0.4, namely SmartConnect. The 1.0.6 stream has yet more new features, namely Arlo camera support. The 1.0.5 beta from what I recall should fix the known issues, but does not have the Arlo feature. Possibly the Arlo feature is part of the issues and they wanted work more on but wanted to get something stable out without worrying about Arlo.
Ok well im actualy are using Arlo on my R7000 and 1.0.6.40 over 1.0.6.28 seems stable now.
Actualy before with 1.0.6.28 i did not use Arlo but when i enabled guest networ all trobble started. 1.0.6.40 fixed issue and i desided to add Camera and it works just fine.
