Firmware V1.0.2.74 (latest version)

Hello,

 

Last saturday I installed the latest firmware after Netgear send me an email to do so. Since then the router signal disappears frequently. Before installing the new firmware this problem never occured. Is there someone who has this problem too or knows how te resolve it?

    Hi,

    I am experiencing the same problem after the firmware update.

    Any news on this yet?

      Hello,

       

      No. I switched my R7800 with my R7000. I can add to my original problems that the 5g signal of the r7800 is not available anymore. Is that one of your problems too?

        This morning I restored the factory settings of the R7800. After that i did a complete new install. V1.02.74 was automatically installed. Now my 5G network is back and untill now i did not notice a loss of the 2.4 signal. I hope my problems are gone forever. Fingers crossed.
