New Features: Supports Arlo camera. Set up the R7000 as an Arlo base station and connect an Arlo camera to the R7000 without needing an extra base station.. Bug Fixes: Fixes the issue in which ...
If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.
Hi All, thought I was going mad with my rooter R7000 until I started reading all your problems. My problem is different to all that I have read so far.
I am connected to the internet via a 4g dish outside my house and was up until lately getting 40mg plus down and 10 up on my wired PC runing windows 10 64bit
After this update I was getting on average 10 down and 3 up no mater if i did it on wireless or on the wired TV boxes or my PC. I have talked to my provider and have been told that the same speeds are there. I have tried a number of the items mentioned ie turning off Arlo, guest wireless & traffic meter.
I am now getting 17-20 down and 3.5 up a little better but not much. Has anyone any other sugestions other than reverting to an older firmware as i am thinking of fitting a Nas to the router and the new options in the latest firmware make it easier to setup I am thinking.

And what are the features in the new fw that will make you fit a NAS easier? Check the change log and unless you need some of the changes mentioned, better downgrade. It was the only fix for my performance and speed issues
I've been using REAL NAS's (not this usb plug a drive in and pretend I have a Nas now) since 2004 and the new firmware did nothing BUT slow down my transfers between Wired QNAP TS470 PRO and Several different Sony Laptops.
I stumbled 1.0.5.52 and after trying 6.28 I went back to it and I can't find any issues with it so far. My transfers PEAK @ 72MBps on it.

Hey Searay,
How are you using your R7000? I saw your post on 1.0.5.52 so gave it a go and while it is the fastest firmware I've tried for lan/lan transfers, (about 10% faster than 1.0.3.61_20140605_QA), I was also seeing issues with WAN speeds. Every second packet had elevated ping response times. I should've had a quick look at a packet capture but didn't have the time to mess around.
I'm trying out 1.0.4.28 atm and it seems solid so far but lan/lan transfer speeds across the wireless bridge are about 10% slower than 1.0.3.61_20140605_QA. Haven't even bothered with 1.0.6.28....too many complaints.
