Hi everyone, if some of your WiFi devices cannot connect to RS700 after the firmware is upgraded to v1.0.9.6, please let us know which WiFi devices they are (brand, model, and firmware / driver version if you know). We will see if we can find the same devices to test.
Also it is much appreciated if you are OK to run some trial firmare to see if that fixes the WiFi connection issues for you. Thank uou.
I have the same issue with my Honeywell 9000 Series (RTH9580 Wi-Fi) thermostat and La Crosse C83100 weather station. Both are older 2GHz band only devices that worked perfectly before the v1.0.9.6 update. I was able to get them running by linking them to my extender instead of directly to the RS700 router, but that seems to have caused those extenders to lose internet connection. When I change the 2GH band channel assignment (1,7 or 11) on the RS700, the internet connection is reestablished at the extender but usually disconnects after a few hours.
Please revert to prior working version of FW and wait for next FW update.
