R7000 dropping 5ghz
Hi all, I reported the above fault to Netgear before happening upon the firmware downgrade fix within these forums. My case has escalated and is being passed to a 'second level technician' - alt...
Wow. I just got the same router, here in January of 2022, but it comes with 1.0.11.116 and states that is the latest firmware. So what revision should I get?
mauryfrench You've dropped into a thread that is now a couple of months old and the latest firmware version is v.130. You'll find it on the Netgear R7000 support page which is always the first port of call for firmware on this router model. Don't believe your router when it says there is no newer firmware because it's just wrong.
If you drop into the R7000 Community forum page and organise the threads in date order, you'll find all of the latest news and issues folks are experiencing. For me, I'd had enough and I've got rid of my R7000 and replaced it with a up to date tri-band router (not Netgear!). Remember, this router is a decade old conceived and designed router. Tech moves on, unlike the R7000.
