1. you don't have the latest firmware. the R7000 is currently on 1.0.11.123. Try installing that over a hardwired connection, then factory reset/reinstall the router.

Updated and no dice. My current cables were a 2 for 1 special on amazon, so I just ordered some better ones, and will update when they arrive. Thank you for the heads up about the software. So dumb the auto-update wouldn't recognize it, yet its right there on their website.
