R7000 firmware version 1.0.5.64_1.1.88 released today
New Firmware Version 1.0.5.64_1.1.88 Release Notes 1. [New Feature] Supports Smart Connect. 2. [New Feature] Supports the Kwilt app, which can be used to view photos stored on the...
I'm confused? Not you say the latest official release is showing, but you had an older one showing before? Or are you saying after going to DD-WRT and back it is now OK?
Let me explain from the start.
I had 1.0.6.68 installed on my router. I updated to 1.0.5.64 since it was the latest. From that point on, I have had nothing but disconnects and internet drop outs.
I tried to go back to what I had before but no matter what I try, the firmware will be whatever I choose but the GUI stays at 1.0.5.64. So even if I put on a different firmware, I always have the GUI of the latest firmware.
Having said that, I thought I could completely eliminate it from the router by flashing it with Kong's DD-WRT version. After that, using Kongs firmware, I was able to get back to the original Netgear firmware but it doesn't change anything. I still have the GUI of the latest firmware.
So to me, all my problems are with the latest 1.0.5.64. If the damn thing doesn't go away after flashing it numerous times to a different version, surely there is something not right. Why does it stay there even after downgrading the firmware to an earlier version? Shouldn't the flashing remove any traces of the previous firmware?
Netgear mods, can you guys chime in or at least give me some answer? The router is only 14 months old and it doesn't work right anymore.
Was there in fact a 1.0.6.68 released? I thoguht the last version was V1.0.6.40_1.1.90 which I am running for Arlo support but having issues with port forwarding.
Mmmmh... I thought the latest firmware that was released before reverting to 1.0.5something was V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 ?
I have this one, and it works great.
Nope. V1.0.6.40_1.1.90 was the last version I believe which included support for Arlo cameras.
I could not get Arlo to work for some reason with the firmware you mentioned hence why I updated.
bigdps, check the screen capture you posted above, V1.0.0.x was showing. Not V1.0.5.x. Hence my confusion on this?
Yes, it should replace it.
Are you doing the 30/30/30 reset?

Give that a try and see if it helps?
My bad about the numbers. In the past week, I have tried so many different firmware that I mixed the numbers. The version that was working for me before was in fact 1.0.6.28, not .68.
I will try the 30/30/30 and see if that takes away the GUI that might or might not be my problem but at the point that I am right now, I'm ready to try anything.
I tried doing the 30/30/30 and it still has the latest GUI.
Still awaiting some feedback from Netgear people. Anyone? Bueler? Bueler?
