R7800 Version 1.0.2.90
Hi All,
I have updated my router R7800 to Version 1.0.2.90 and after that it’s keep dropping 5Ghz. Any recommendations on how to fix it or is there a lower stable version where we don’t have issues?
Thanks
Dileep

Many X4S R7800 owners have gone to Voxel and never looked back. Most likely will resolve your issue with 5Ghz dropping.

Does the 5 GHz LED go off? Or is it that wifi clients can't connect?
Have you enabled Smart Connect?
I see no issues with my R7800 on that firmware. I'd try a few things before diving into alternative firmware.
