Very poor WiFi performance since 1.0.7.6 update

Hi,

 

Since I updated to 1.0.7.6 FW, the signal quality is very bad.

 

2.4Ghz, RSSI : -68

5Ghz, RSSI: -50

 

I'm at about 7 meters from the router.

 

The weird thing is that the signal quality of the 5Ghz network is better than the signal quality of the 2.4Ghz network.

 

What should I do ?

 

Thanks

    Hi wgblondel,

     

    Try changing the channels of your wireless network.

    As suggested in the Netgear Release Notes, did you reset the router to factory default after the firmware upgrade?
