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!
Have been following this thread for the last month or so since 2.4ghz stopped working.
Factory reset fixed 2.4ghz issue but then I ran into issues this week where speed (20mb/0.5mb) was nowhere near what I would/should get by going directly through cable modem (100mb/10mb). Downgraded the firmware to ..4.30.. and speeds are back to normal now too.
My first Netgear router, bought a few months ago...doesn't give good first impressions guys.
