R7000 2.4ghz not working but 5ghz is fine
Firmware 1.0.4.30 and 1.0.4.28 tried for weeks at a time.
Wireless devices connected to 5ghz band are all working perfectly and have been since i purchased this router at the beginning of June ...
Good news! We now have a production version of firmware that should resolve the 2.4 GHz issue, v1.0.5.64. You may download this firmware from our R7000 page here: http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000#searchResults
As IrvSp correctly notes, this version of firmware fixes the 2.4 GHz issue and reinstates the new features, such as Kwilt, Smart Connect, and WiFI Transmit Power Control. It does not support Arlo. We hope to have a beta version that supports Arlo in the next two weeks.
We welcome any feedback you provide on this new firmware, and appreciate your patience as we resolved these issues. Thank you all for supporting the R7000 and NETGEAR!
Support asked me to flash 1.0.4.30 and factory reset. I did it yesterday. Ran fine for ~24h, just lost my wifi on 2.4 GHz. I'll flash 1.0.4.28 and factory reset again later today…
I just upgraded from 1.03.60 to 1.06.28, figured I was long over due. Recent email campaign helped motivate me. Should have left well enough alone. Hit this same issue, 5g wireless working fine, 2.4g looks to be online but devices cannot connect saying bad password. Very frustrating. I have a number of Netgear devices and have recommended to a number of friends. I just downgraded to 1.04.30 and so far it is working again. Wasted hours on this. Given the number of messages in this thread I would think and hope Netgear is taking this seriously.
