R7000 Firmware
Hello,
I have had a R7000 wifi router for a while now.
For some time now I have been experiencing a lot of problems with it (frequent disconnections)
The problems came with the successive updates until the last one (1.0.11.136).
On various forums, I had seen that the version 1.0.9.42 seemed to be the version to be privileged as for the stability, I thus installed this version.
To do so, I did a hard reset before and after the version change.
Since then, I lose the connection in 2.4 consistently.
What would be the version (reliable, stable, safe) of firmware to use to have a functional device?
I am well aware that the R7000 is an old hardware.
In the event of a replacement.
What would be the best hardware to use knowing that the R7000 was correctly dimmed for my installation?
Thank you for your help

I haven't seen a whole lot of issues with the .136 that you were on.
Did you factory reset?
Is it only the 2.4ghz you have issues with?
Or 5ghz and wired too?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
I can't remember if i made hard reset for the .136 version.
I'm sure to make hard reset before and after downgrade to 1.0.9.42.
Actually with this version, it seems that the problem occure only with 2.4
The R7000 is connected behind a French box "FreeBox Revolution" on which the wifi is disabled.
The R7000 is only used to "replace" the wifi of my box
my use of wifi is very basic, web, mail, netflix.Thanks for your answer

Not sure if this answers your questions?
Which firmware version would you recommend?
What replacement hardware (Netgear not netgear)?
Thanks again
