R7000 original firmware
Hello, I upgraded my firmware to version v1.0.5.64_1.1.88 a week ago but both WIFI bands kept dropping on all my devices from laptop, tablet, to phones. I then upgraded it to v1.0.5.70_1.1.91 and di...
My friend told me his factory firmware was V1.0.4.30_1.1.67, same as what Inkster said about a stable version. I downgraded from V1.0.5.70 and all my devices (included my ethernet attached) computer are running at full speed just like it was when I took the router out of the box. I am quite happy now, and thanks everyone for your suggestions. I am going to stick with this version until my next hardware upgrade.
Think about it everyone... the factory version was probably the most stable otherwise you would have returned the router within 15 days.
I also upgraded my firmware to version v1.0.5.64_1.1.88 about 2 weeks ago and both WIFI bands keeps dropping the internet connection, more than my previous firmware to all my devices from laptops, tablets, to phones. I did a factory reset, manual config and power cycle. The router is now having more intermediate problems connecting to the internet like yours HMoody and it is very frustrating especially when I`m streaming TV or online movies.
Does the new firmware v1.0.5.70_1.1.91 help to rectify the problems which I and other owners of the R7000 are having or should I go back to the old firmwre R7000-_V1.0.3.80-1.1.38 that the router came with or try 1.0.4.28, followed by 1.0.4.30. I am lost on what to do because I want to be up to date and stable with my router firmware.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
