RS700 - new firmware version 1.0.7.96 released
Almost 9 months since the prior 1.0.7.86 firmware was released, Netgear issued 1.0.7.96 yesterday. However, all the release notes says is "enhanced stability" so no mention if it adds MLO, fixes the...

pL86 I agree... would love to see more details of what the "enhanced stability" addressed!!!
I got a new Rs700 on 12/20/24, it automatically updated to v1.0.7.86 during my initial setup. Things worked great for around 7 days, then all kinds of odd things started happening (duplicate IP's, corrupted Reservation Tables, Ignored Reservations, inaccessible Client Devices). Did a Factory Reset and tested Trial v1.0.7.93, but it didn't help. Dropped my old R6900v2 back into service: All other things being the same (ISP; Modem; AP's; Etc.), the R6900v2 has been rock-solid as before, so the variable is the Rs700.
I read some other threads with users having issues on v1.0.7.86, and didn't catch that v.1.0.7.96 came out, so I "just" wiped it clean this morning and went to v1.0.7.82. It's been up for 4 hours so far... fingers crossed 🤞
I'm subscribing to this thread in hopes of hearing other user's experiences here on v.1.0.7.96 going forward.
Would be curious to know how many Client Devices others have connected. We have around 80+- Devices, so not sure if that impacted my initial v1.0.7.86 experience.
Also, are Users seeing Beamforming Option at the bottom of Advanced > Advanced Settings > Wireless Settings???: I'm seeing it now in v1.0.7.82, but for the life of me, can't recall if it was in v1.0.7.86 🤔

Well... that v1.0.7.82 test didn't take very long 🤕 One of my Access Points went offline within 5 hours 😞
Hoping to see positive reports here on the new v1.0.7.96 🙂
