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

Can only speak for the R9000 here - Central European Time, DST enabled. 05:00pm (WT* AM/PM here?) the WLAN went down, and 05:30pm the WLAN cambe back. A few related oddites aorund the WPS LED, but this is beyond the scope here as I'm operating a Beta firmware 1.0.3.16, but reported to Netgear.
Now somebody with an R7000 please...
Thank you for taking the time to do that!
I was able to do it only be reversing the firmware toan older version. New update messed things up. See here:
Thanks tooreck! very helpful to know others can't do it either. I got frustrated and bought a device that with a remote control, I just cut the power to the router. I don't love the solution because I feel like it's probably not good for the router to just be shut off that way every day but I got tired of f*%&ing with the router settings to try and make that work.
Have you tried reversing firmware to an older version? It really worked in my case and now the scheduling program is just humming and running smoothly.
No, I haven't tried that. I'm not willing to sacrifice the protection against Krack etc that the new firmware version supplied. I'll just use my crude solution until Netgear fixes that feature. Thanks!
