New R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.100
It's been a while but finally NG has released a new firmware for R7000! :smileyhappy: R7000 Firmware V1.0.11.100_10.2.100 Download: https://kb.netgear.com/000061805/R7000-Firmware-Version-1-0...
Yesterday, I decided to have a play with the Nighthawk App during which I enabled the Smart Connect feature. I wish I hadn't! For about 20 minutes it caused me a bunch of problems, and before anyone says anything, no, it was nothing to do with the latest new firmware, it was me mucking about with the App which I should have just let be. But yes, enabling it, I lost 5ghz band because it grouped all of my devices under 2.4g as it is designed to do. I ended up having to reinput passwords for my Amazon devices on 5g along with a couple of other devices. I won't be enabling Smart Connect ever again, not either from the web Admin page or via the App, too much hassle!
I upgraded from 1.0.9.42 to 1.0.11.100 yesterday and noticed a significant decrease in bandwidth.
I performed a factory reset->reboot->firmware update->factory reset and then made sure QOS was disabled. My set up is Internet->Google Fiber Box->R7000. Previously with this setup I was seeing wired download speeds well north of 300 mbps down. After this update my wired download speed is 90 mbps down at best. When I plug my PC directly into the Google Fiber Box, I am seeing download speeds of 750 mbps down.
I've since rolled back to 1.0.9.42 but I still don't have the download speeds I used to have. At this point I'm running out of ideas to try before I just up and buy a new router. Has anyone been able to restore their download speeds?
Dustin_V Christian_R Any thoughts here?

My speeds are what they should be and have not changed after the update. 200MB/6MB.
As I stated earlier, my wireless connection speeds have improved (even with Smart Connect enabled) while my wired connection speeds have degraded. Although now I've tried the speed test from another wired PC connection and I'm getting 353mps down.
So it looks like my original wired speed issue is not related to the firmware update.
Disabling WPS is still an issue though. :smileyfrustrated::smileyvery-happy:
I updated from 42 to this version 2 days ago.. it was working fine for about 12 hours and then I noticed at night time i wasn't able to use the internet on my phone. I believe this fw have the same issue where the 5g band overloads and crashes. Restarting the router works but I don't want to be restarting it every few days. So far version 42 still works the best and i don't need to ever restart the router.
