R8000P - most stable firmware?
Hi all... I've had this router since 2018 so it could be age causing this but recently the router seems to be locking up. Problem is, I did a firmware upgrade recently and didn't write down what the...
Apologies for the delayed reply.
This worked OK for a week or so, then things started acting up again. Unfortunately I couldn't continue with the recurring issues because I work from home, so I ended up replacing it with a mesh system. It was 6 years old so perhaps it was simply dying a slow death. Regardless, I have not had any issues since replacing it.
Thanks for the assistance - wish I didn't have to replace it but sometimes that's the only solution.
What version did you install? Or is on it?
Anytime I have issues after a firmware change, I factory reset and do a manual reinstall (installing without using a backup) before downgrading if there's issues. Sometimes old settings can cause issues and the firmware can help fix that.
I'd try that first.
The one I downgraded to is 1.4.1.68_1.3.28. However, I just experienced the same issue again out of the blue and it was only fixed with a reboot. I'm going to try some others, but wondering if this thing is just close to giving up the ghost.
Any progress on this?
