NETGEAR R7800 FIRMWARE v1.0.2.82

1.0.2.80 works for me in AP mode. So did 1.0.2.76. Never tried .78, and haven't tried .82 yet. 

No disconnects.  No WIFI drops.

I download the update and perform the update in the GUI using an Ethernet connection.  I don't let the R7800 self-update.

I then hold in a paperclip in the back for 15 seconds and let the device reboot.

I set it up manually in AP mode - using a fixed IP address, not DHCP.

My other options are:

- use the WAN port for the connection to my router

- no DFS channels

- no Smart Connect

- Beamforming on

- no MU-MIMO

- no HT160

- no Media Servers
