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!
I had this same issue with my R7000. Factory resetting and installing the 1.0.4.30 firmware fixes the issues you are all having. I found this thread when I was having issues a few weeks ago. I just did a write up on my blog:

My router is now with version 10.4.30 stable for more than 48 hours, seems its ok now, but never a update for me lololol
Oertje, thanks for the update on your router with the .30 firmware. I'm sorry about the issues with the update but I am at least thankful that this version is working well for you. Please let me know if you see any new problems. Thanks!
