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!
Just a quick follow up to Black Label - we fixed the connectivity issue and restored all the new functionality except for the ability to use the R7000 as a base station for Arlo. This is still a beta for the next couple of weeks. We would greatly appreciate any feedback from those of you who experienced problems previously. Many thanks to all of you for your patience with us, and for the feedback that led us to higher quality firmware.
Is the New beta FW v1.0.5.60 release with fewer issues that the previous beta (v1.06.40_1.1.90)?
Is v1.0.5.60 really newer than v1.0.6.40_1.1.90? That doesn't make sense.
Yes. The new beta firmware should provide improved connectivity in the 2.4 GHz band to address the issue identified by customers in this thread. It also fixes another issue that we found in test. We believe it is better, more stable code, and we're eager to hear any feedback you have. Thank you for your patience. Nifer
