    Hi tooreck, 

     

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

Hi lulup,

 

I tested our R7000 and set up wireless schedule on/off. The WiFi turn back on at the scehdule time. 

 

Please ensure that you have the lastest firmware  1.0.9.32.

Hi Blanca,

So, what about my model (R8000|Nighthawk X6 AC3200)? For how long am I stuck with 1.0.4.18_10.1.49 update and that same bug?

Thanks,

        Blanca,

        I was not having access to my account to reply till now.

        Of course the reset doesn't help. The reset is being done automatically after time off is set up, but I also done it manually. No difference. The firmware has a bug - it'd be great if Netgear admitted it and did something about it. Have you reported this is to the project team? Have they reproduced the issue? Is Netgear even serious about it?

        Thanks...

      Hi Blanca,

      Yes, I have tried resetting the router multiple times. 

      Please... 

      It did not work, neither did time zones because they were set correctly. This is the firmware issue. Period.
