Nighthawk R7000 Connection Issues
I want to start with a little backstory...I first purchased this Nighthawk router in August of 2017 and used it for approximately 20 months with no issues whatsoever. It would stay connected/online f...

Had a firmware update the other day and Same issues at the moment. Not able to even connect to the router. Multiple reboots and troubleshooting but no progress. Not sure what else to do at this point. Internet connection from ISP is working fine, it’s just the router. -/:();/$&@“.,?!!!!
I am sort of shocked end-users have not picked up on the fact that NG's latest R7000 firmware is a 'basket case'. Totally unreliable. Just looking at the subject list here would give one the impression of that.
Mwaliph, did you read the above before posting? Did you see where using the .42 (V1.0.9.42) would be the probable solution? Is has been for many.
NG moderators have even admitted in another thread that V1.0.9.88 has 'some issues' and they are working on them. The list of problems is long and varied, from DLNA server problems to Wifi disconnects and even the update bricking routers. Oddly it seems not every users has problems, but many do. Worse, NG, even knowing the problems has NOT removed the f/w (nor the prior one that is just as bad) from the d/l support page. Matter of fact, every day, users that have AUTO-UPDATE enabled are getting the latest 'questionable' update applied and then seemingly out of know where have router problems.
So here I am December 5th 2019 having this same problem with this Netgear R7000 Wifi Router. Version V1.0.9.88_10.2.88
Is there no solition coming?

Any suggestestions ?

So, when you start your own thread for your own problem, include a
link to any other relevant thread(s) which you might have found. Also,
copy+paste is your friend,> V1.0.10.90_10.2.90
> Any suggestestions ?Other than those already offered here? No.
V1.0.10.90_10.2.90 was withdrawn within about one day of its
publication. V1.0.9.88_10.2.88 has been inciting complaints since its
publication.A quick Web or forum search for either might find any number of
complaints. The current consensus seems to be that V1.0.9.42_10.2.44 is
a better bet.Many thanks for your replay
Please apologie me, I try to find solutions of my problem reading the post, and if I cannot found it I write a post, but as you evidence I am not very familiar with the rules.
I start to have problem from July 2019, do you have any idea where I can find the release date of the firmware and where I can download it?
I
f I understood correct you suggest me to downgrade the router to V1.0.9.42_10.2.44, which looks the release which looks have trouble free version; could you confrim it please?
Many thanks for your patient
