RS700 firmware update 1.0.9.6
Hi
After upgrading to 1.0.9.6, something has prevented some of my 2.5ghz devices from being able to connect to wpa2/3 setting when smart connect is enabled.
the only way to resolve was to disable smart connect and change security to wpa2 only, or downgrade firmware which I have now done, and everything is working perfectly again.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

Tried the turning off wireless radios and also doing a factory reset . . . neither worked for ALL me devises (most did work though). The one major one that would not work was MYQ garage door hub. Ended up going back to the previous firmware 1.0.7.96 and now everything is working again. Guess I will just wait for the next update and try that one.
Similar problem here. I have a Honeywell thermostat that will not reconnect to the router since the firmware update. I've tried repeatedly to enter the password for the primary network and the guest network and it will not allow the thermostat back in. Hitting the WPS button while submitting the password did not help either. I also had to reconnect a ring camera after the firmware update. This has been a very frustrating update.
Have you tried my suggestion? It really did fix it right up for me. Both my Direct TV receiver and my Honeywell thermostat had the problem.
I am having the same problem with my Honeywell Thermostat, Dyson Air Purifier, and an old Sony DVD player. What is your suggestion?
What channels are you using on the router? Try 1 and 40.
Did you factory reset and setup from scratch after v.6 FW was loaded to see if this helps any?
