    Hi tooreck, 

     

    For R8000, firmware 1.0.4.18 is the latest version. Have you tried resetting the router?

Firmware version?

 

Factory reset done following some major updates, and manually reconfigured the R7000 again?

V1.0.9.26_10.2.31 - i believe that's the latest.

 

I'll try the factory reset later today and post my results.

 

Thanks!

    OK, I did a factory reset and set it all back up (including confirming that firmware is current and the schedules are enabled) and tested it. Now, instead of it not coming back online after the period is over, it doesn't turn off at all. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

        Disable the "Turn off wireless signal by schedule" as long as the wireless is enabled - and pry it will be fixed one day. (Sorry, could not resist...).
