New - R7900P/R7960P/R8000P Firmware Version 1.4.4.94 Released

[RahulM]

Can someone share beta firmware to try. I am having issues with latest firmware. (R8000P)

[lmnope1]

Still waiting for R7960P beta firmware.... 

[pss2023]

I gave up waiting for someone to send me a beta firmware to fix issues with "invalid MAC address" errors.  Netgear took too long to fix critical defects.  I moved on to use another router with FreshTomato firmware.

[lmnope1]

@FURRYe38 just sent it to me with a request to not share it. So for anyone else, I'd advise reaching out to him for it.

I agree Netgear is way too slow to fix this, I will be selling my stock in the company.

@FURRYe38 Hello Sir, Please can you send me the F/W Beta For the R8000P model.
Would really appreciate it , Thank you kindly for any help.
Best Regards,

@FURRYe38 Hello -- 

May I get the beta firmware for Nighthawk R8000P? 

Thank you!

[shadowsports]

Will this beta firmware EVER get officially released?

We're going on 6 months now.  

[FURRYe38]

We don't get that information here. Just have to keep an eye out for it on there download page or here in the forums.

Thank you for the beta firmware!

Same issue as so many others - If @FURRYe38 has that beta firmware, I'd be interested in it.

I have a R8000P running V1.4.4.94_1.3.56

[Dr_Dino]

I would like to try it as well.

I have the R8000P

Thanks

May I have the Beta firmware for R7960P as well? This issue with static DHCP entries is really annoying.

[kneel242]

Model R8000P
Firmware Version v1.4.4.94_1.3.56

*Cries* why is NTP still broken?  Daily logs always showing the below over and over:
 Wednesday, Dec 31,1969 18:00:00
 Wednesday, Dec 31,1969 18:00:00

I have briefly temporarily fixed this before with a factory reset - BUT for like years external NTP never worked, ever.

Netgears NTP works occasionally, but not consistently.  Router NTP page always shows the below error:
"Warning: The Router failed to connect to NTP server, please check your Internet connectivity or try another NTP server"

I also have issues with static DHCP entries and other bugs in this firmware that crash the GUI and there is no way to manage them

[FURRYe38]

@Censo @kneel242 

Sent PM.

Thanks!

I have the R8000P bug where I cannot assign/reserve internal IP addresses on the latest publicly available firmware (V1.4.4.94_1.3.56).

@FURRYe38If you could please PM me a link to the latest R8000p beta firmware that may address this, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is the last Netgear/SOHO router/AP combo that I will buy in general. Sick of this BS.

I am still running v1.4.3.88 with IPv6 enabled which seems to have fixed the DNS problem, but I get network dropouts during the day and I am totally fed up with other issues being reported with later versions of the firmware.

Thanks for your help.

[FURRYe38]

Have you tired the beta yet?

I'd really like to try the Beta firmware on my R7960P to resolve the "Invalid MAC Address" error when trying to reserve an IP.

How does one get the Beta firmware for the R8000P?

[FURRYe38]

Nobody can send you a PM with in your profile. Would need to enable that.
