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 see that v1.0.5.64 is released on the downloads page. Does this one support Arlo, also?
No.

Hi, installed new firmware yesterday and so far only issue is the reach of 5GHz band. I live in a fairly small apartment and with older firmwarfe signal reached all corners, now it does not. Earlier it reached the 12 m to balcony and now i have to be inside.
Has anything changed in the strength of the signal?
I can no longer access router from remote site either and genie for iphone, or mac. Even the webbrowser works very slow when logging on to the router from home, feel like the router has slow respons to genie software (it is upgraded to latest versions too)
Best regards
Lennart
After reversing to older version everything is working again so I will stay away until new bug fixed release shows up
R7000-V1.0.5.64_1.1.88 installed without problems and works so far (without reset since I didn't want to spend the day configuring). Getting close to 600Mbps on our most distant PC in a crowded Wifi space. Thanks.
Hi Nifer !
I'm using a WNDR3700 V2 router, that is showing exactly the same problem as described here : no internet access for 2.4GHz, but working well for the 5GHz.
Any chance for a firmware update ?? Yes,, I know it's a stablized model...Thanks in advance
The 2.4 GHz network is failing again and again. Three reboots per day.
I am done with this device.
