D6400 - Firmware 1.0.0.44 disabled my wifi permanently

After upgrading my D6400 from 1.0.0.38_1.1.38 to 1.0.0.44_1.0.44, my wifi got disabled and there is no way to re-enable it..

 

tried factory reset and still the same issue..... the only way to have the wifi working again was to downgrade back to 1.0.0.38.

 

any idea or anyone with the same issue ?

Welcome to the club. There is a fix knocking around, but that is supposed to be for those of us who have beta versions of this modem.

 

Does that apply to you?

I have a beta version D6400 and it would be great to know where to locate the fix.

 

Thanks in advance.

I will also be happy to get it.

I received the fix from DarrenM, but I was asked to keep it to myself. Now that we have several possible victims, I will send him a message asking how to get the details to you.

I have PM'd Darren to ask how to get this top-secret fix out in the open without asking the FBI to get involved.

 

One more question that might help, is everyone seeking the fix in the UK?

Check for a private message explaining what to do when your beta modem shuts down the wifi after applying the new firmware.

Hi,

 

I have the same problem in Spain.

 

Please, can someone send me a private message with the fix?.

 

Thanks.

For anyone who has not yet fixed this issue with their beta modem, the beta team has sent out an email that tells you what to do to recover your wifi after applying the new firmware.

I have the same problem can you help me?

Check for a private message.

 

This one persists. Why doesn't Netgear make the fix known? I was asked to keep it private because it is supposed to have affected only beta models. That seems not to be the case.
