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!

Stuckincube - I tested 4.30 thoroughly and it failed in exactly the same way as all later versions. I rolled back to 4.28 four days ago and, so far, rock solid.
ok, since I already flashed it and set everything up again I'll let it run to see how long it goes before failing and post an update; but I guess I will expect to set everything up AGAIN. Netgear better get their s|-|it together soon... arg.

UPDATE - I've been running 4.30 for just over a week with no issues after rollback from 6.28 on Feb 2.
Great, thank you very much for the update!
We we are hopeful that we can have a production fix soon.
Again, thanks to all of you for your patience and valuable feedback!
