R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
New Features:
- Supports Arlo camera. Set up the R7000 as an Arlo base station and connect an Arlo camera to the R7000 without needing an extra base station..
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the issue in which port 1237 cannot be used in port forwarding.
- Fixes the issue in which the Kwilt binary cannot be downloaded in some cases.
- Fixes the issue in which MTU is not restored when IPv6 is disabled.
If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.

- You mean download the firmware onto a usb drive? Then download it into the usb jack on the nighthawk? And whats the difference? If it does not work right by doing it online? Then why is there an option to do it that way? And i never did a reset before i did it...no one told me too? Or i wasn't told to when i did it...I did 2 resets after i did it because its not working right
I downloaded the firmware and uploaded it from there.
Thing is, you have to change your IP after you reset the router.
So :
_ download the firmware
_ change your IP on your computer (192.168.1.X if my memory is correct)
_ reset the router
_ upload the firmware
_ reset the router
_ change its config
_ change your IP config, if needed
Worked for me.
*NORMALLY* you should be able to do the update online, but this time, with this last firmware, it seems it screws the router bad...
I know I won't try any online update from now on. And I will stick to the actual firmware for a time before upgrading it, I'll wait for the feedbacks of all the users before I jump off the cliff again.
I just go to the netgear site and download the firmware to my computer. Reset the router login, update the firmware (by Ethernet never over wifi) reset it again once its updated and rebooted itself, then add all my settings. Never had any issues. You have not turned off WMM or 20/40 coexistence have you? Both should be left at their default values, especially 20/40 Coexistence unless you live in the middle of a forest and have no wifi networks near you.
- I thank all of you for your help! Im just really confused here? My nighthawk is hooked up to my comcast modem and i cannot update firmware hard wired at all...the only way it will let me do any updates is wireless? Everytime i type in routerlogin.net on my desktop it says page cannot be found as long as i have the ethernet jack plugged into my desktop...but if i unplug the ethernet jack and connect my desktop wirelessly then it works then I can type in router login.net...why it works like that i dont know??? Also if i use my smart phone and go into chrome browser it will work too...and let me update wireless online...anyone know why it wont let me log in on my desktop while the hardwires plugged in??? I have the nighthawk plugged into my comcast router...and thats it...and the only reason i bought the nighthawk is to increase my range and speed...because the comcast router the range was very low...
Which version of firmware is currently on the router?
Also, do you by chance have Kaspersky AV? It has been shown that for some reason, Kaspersky wants to block access to the router home page. The workaround was to disable or uninstall it while you need to access the router.
If this isn't your case, then compare the IP information when you have it hard wired vs. wireless. You can do this by typing "ipconfig" in a command terminal window. See if the assigned IP address, netmask and and default gateway are the same between wired vs. wireless connections. You should be able also to use the IP address of the gateway (should be the R7000 IP address on the LAN) as the URL instead of routerlogin.net.
Another interesting thing to look at would be what address "routerlogin.net" resolves to (in the same command window, try "ping routerlogin.net".
Don't get it.......can't find this firmware on the netgear website.... latest firmware is Version 1.0.4.30....
I do have the 1.0.6.28 firmware but got all kinds of troubles, can't remote acces the router with the genie app, harddrives do function well on my network but not visible in the readycloud etc. etc. and yes everything is registered and all ;)
So i wanted to try and re-upgrade this firmware from local storage instead OTA and see if things get better.....
But as i said before.....can't find it on the netgear site

Netgear pulled the release due to bugs. They are testing a new release. Keep checking every few days. It should come out, hopefully soon.
- Still none of the developers are responding.... Bad support again Netgear.
The engineers are working on the next firmware. They know the last one wasn't a success, that's why they removed it.
Just have to wait is all :)
- That's you sayijg, why can the developers something to say? Instead of you?
- Im fine waiting! Actually i really dont care if they come out with a new one or not! The 104 version works fine! You know the old saying if it's not broke don't fix it! The only thing that pisses me off is the lady on the phone talking about an $89 package and other packages just to get some help with this! Sure lady I'll pay almost the same amount that I paid for my router just to figure out what I already knew...
- Routers not fine, IPV6 does not work properly which is one of the things that the team are working on.
betas are fine most of the time.And if you dont bother, why are you still here ???
