R7000 Firmware upgrade to V1.0.7.6
I downloaded and applied the recent firmware update V1.0.7.6_1.1.99. All seemed to go well, except after logging on to the router, the older version is still shown as V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 and the I see ...
Downloaded again and re-flashed. Now the router screen shows the proper version and no indication of an available update.
My R7000 shows version 1.0.7.6_1.1.99 after flashing the beta firmware. No indication of an update available and all is working without issue so far.

I am currently manually downloading the beta firmware for R7000. Everything looked good and I then when my status bar got to the rebooting the router's firmware, I got a pop-up screen saying AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED Your connection to this site is not private. It wants me to input my username and password again. Did you guys have to re-enter your password at this stage? I never have in the past, so I am just sitting here not knowing what to do..................
Do I enter user name and password or cancel everything?
I would suggest that you re-enter your username and password and see where it is at.
I want to amend my response. While the router seems to be working properly, I've noticed a decline in performance, both with wired and wifi connections. I get a noticeable delay when connecting to web pages and periodic delays/interruption when downloading files (such as os updates). Have any others experienced performance issues? I performed a speed test and once it started it seemed fine. It is just delays in getting response to web pages and a pauses in downloads that I am concerned about. Here is my speed test result:
Maybe related, maybe not. My Arlo Q camera uses the 5Ghz band and won't connect if speed is set to above 600Mbs. Might be worth a try.
Same problem after V1.0.7.6_1.1.99 update. Internet super slow on all connected devices and pings/latencies are through the roof. Pings are all over the map as well. from 24ms to 860ms on subsequent tests. What have you done to my beautiful router, Netgear?
I'm having the same exact issue. This router has been bulletproof since I bought it back in 2013. I've performed a clean install and I'm still losing WAN connectivity.
