I did both. I failed to mention that I had powered down my modem and, factory reset is what I meant when I wrote "hard reset". Here's details on the steps I took.

  1. Install 1.0.11.134
  2. Modem rebooted as part of update process, came online
  3. Used paper clip to trigger Factory reset
  4. Waited for modem to come online (all LED's were lit white)
  5. Powered-off both R7000 and Cable modem, wated a few minutes
  6. Powered-up CM, it came online, waited for a minute and...
  7. ...powered R7000 on

I had to go through initial setup on the R7000, set admin password and so on. Also reset SSID, passcode etc. Tested internet access after all of that was completed.

 

Repeated that sequence when I downgraded to 1.0.11.130. If it works out for someone else then I'm open to trying 1.0.11.134 again.

Thanks for being a brave pioneer on v134.  The steps I've successfully used to install FW have been slightly different:

1st, I always do a factory reset before installing FW

2nd, I install the FW

3rd, I manually enter all my configuration settings (never using a CFG file)

I also recently learned to never edit any name under Attached Devices or Access Control.

My R7000 is on v130 and the R7000 at my remote house is on v128.  Both have been stable. I'll be watching this thread for v134 success stories, if any.

    Hello,

     

    What is the issue with editing the device names?

     

    Thanks,
