R7000 WIFI drops often on V1.0.11.126_10.2.112, sometimes cannot connect
I have not upgraded my R7000 firmware for maybe a couple of years but decided recently to upgrade to V1.0.11.126_10.2.112 Ever since, my wifi has issues (cannot connect due to authenticaion error...
The argreed up most stable version is the 1.0.9.42 version.
But prior to trying it, try a factory reset and new install. don't use a backup configuration.
I'd start with that first before downgrading as sometimes old settings can cause issues.
OK, I am going with this method of
1) factory reset
2) upgrade to latest firmware

Update, it looks like my original update was to V1.0.11.126_10.2.110 NOT V1.0.11.126_10.2.112. After the factory reset tonight, it looks like somehow the firmware went to V1.0.11.126_10.2.112. So, what I did was (after the reset), reinstalled V1.0.11.126_10.2.112.
I will report back in a week or so on whether this fixed the router WIFI issues.
