No internet connection using wifi 5g network
Router firmware v1.0.11.102. W10 64 bit os. Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 network adapter. On separate occasions I use both the 2.4g or the 5g wifi network to connect to the internet. The 2.4g...
A reset of the router fixed the problem. I should have thought of that when I did the power off/on of all the components. Thaks to everyone who responded.
Thanks for your reply. That will leave me vulnerable. Right now with an identified exposure out there prior to the most recent update I'm not inclined to go back versions and leave auto updates off. Even if that works I won't be leaving it in that state.
Try searching the forums for R7000 firmware issues.
You're more than welcome to run the newer version with the security fixes but if it runs poorly for you, then you're caught in a catch-22.
Or you can try 3rd party firmware for the R7000 which has had its own security issues.
