R7000 2.4ghz not working but 5ghz is fine
Firmware 1.0.4.30 and 1.0.4.28 tried for weeks at a time.
Wireless devices connected to 5ghz band are all working perfectly and have been since i purchased this router at the beginning of June ...
Good news! We now have a production version of firmware that should resolve the 2.4 GHz issue, v1.0.5.64. You may download this firmware from our R7000 page here: http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000#searchResults
As IrvSp correctly notes, this version of firmware fixes the 2.4 GHz issue and reinstates the new features, such as Kwilt, Smart Connect, and WiFI Transmit Power Control. It does not support Arlo. We hope to have a beta version that supports Arlo in the next two weeks.
We welcome any feedback you provide on this new firmware, and appreciate your patience as we resolved these issues. Thank you all for supporting the R7000 and NETGEAR!
Yes - use 1.0.4.28_1.1.64 - it definitely works.
Sorry, this may have been covered before but I am hesitant to re-read 30+ pages...
I realize starting with a fresh factory set is ideal, but...
Can I flash 1.0.4.28_1.1.64 and the settings from 1.0.6.28_1.1.83 survive?
Or can I save the 1.0.6 setting, flash and factory reset 1.0.4... and restore settings from that file?
Thanks.

Factory reset and manually re-enter your settings. I wouldn't recommend using your stored config file.

Correct. Netgear introduced major changes to the configuration file format between 1.0.4.30 and 1.0.6.28. Files from these two versions are incompatible and should not be interchanged.
