R7000 wifi is not working correctly?
Hello, Recently I have changing my router's firmware from Tomato to the original netgera firmware since I did not need that Tomato stuff. I beleive I have done so correctly since I followed a vi...
For some reason I simply reset the router, hard reset and start from scratch but still has the newer firware (1.0.6.28). Oh well, it works either way.

I think most people would have their 1.0.6.28 problems solved by a hard reset to factory default and re-configure, but some either did not realize that a hard reset was significantly more than a simple reboot or power cycle so never really did perform a hard reset, or are taking the hard line that manually re-configuring after the hard reset was unacceptable and refused to take that route.
As long as it is working for you, that is great.
Note that a hard reset ONLY erases the settings. It does not reset your firmware version. Once you install a firmware version, that is the version the router will have from that point on. This is another source of misunderstanding.
If you haven't done so already, and don't need it, you should probably turn off the Arlo support. That is another gripe, this should have been off by default.
Yeah I got rid of the arlo thing. So I should be fine for now, thanks anyways though.
