R7000 DLNA Enable Option
Hi all,
Perhaps you someone could point me at location of Enable/Disable DLNA server option in latest "V1.0.9.88" revision of firmware of R7000 (AC1900) Nighthals Router. I recall that some of the ...
mkonstantin, I didn't miss the point. I don't have an active R7000 so I can't tell if it is there or not?
It wouldn't surprise me if NG messed it up. Like the screen shot I posted the removed items were on that page. Some probably untrained programmer removed the function and the web page to enable it. Probably was CLUELESS as to what DLNA was so removed the whole page. Code is probably still in the f/w, but no way to enable it.
All I can say complaining here and HOPING NG people report this back and get it fixed is a crap shoot.
DarrenMcan you get this fixed as soon as possible?
Your fix for now, go back to V1.0.9.42 I'd think, .60, .64, and .88 all have serious problems for many user's in varying ways.
I have checked and DLNA was removed from the R7000 in the .88 firmware. And we are aware of the other issues that are causing disconnects on the R7000 and are working on the issues.

DarrenM, may I make a suggestion?
When you are aware of MAJOR problems with a recently released Firmware, such as this clear removal error and severe problems that many users are seeing, I think it would help keep the 'angst' level down if you created a STICKY with a clear subject to the specific router and f/w release (that can be deleted after a new release probably). Like "R7000 V1.09.88 Known Problems being worked". In the text indicate what is known, that it is being worked on, and the suggested 'work-around' (rollback, disable this or that, etc.). You can add to that as other items are discovered. If there is a possible ship date, that should be listed as well. Also if it is suggested NOT to install it and/or disable Auto-Update if on older f/w.
This will go a long way to possibly having the creation of multiple problems threads on f/w and dispell rumor's and false information.
How about it?
I've rolled back to .64 and everything s good! I'll monitor release notes of future F/W ujpdates to see if DLNA returns. Thanks for eveyone's help.
