I would agree, Netgear should stipulate to do a factory reset afterwords, and not to use a backup from a previous firmware as well afterwords. The backup really is pretty useless because of this caveat. I tend to do one before and one after, no scientific wizardry but it seems to work well doing that. Also I cured my wan disconnection issues by puling the power plug for ten minutes from the back of the router. (power wart pulled out of wall first) Its almost like a black magic art keeping this router on the right tracks. The GUI is still appalling with the bloat they are adding though. I dont need Arlo, I would have preferred a AV/URL scanner engine like Asus use tbh.
Perhaps NETGEAR can write the factory reset and restore of settings right into the install script for the firmware. There's no need to complicate it.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Thing is, what's the point of having a backup/restore option if it's useless when you upgrade your firmware? I don't see the use of restoring a backup when the router is working well once all the configuration is done...

It looks like Netgear has pulled 1.0.6.28 and 1.0.5.48 because they are gone from the support website.

Would have been nice if they had noted why these two firmwares had been pulled though and offer advice, if any, for those using them.

They were pulled becuase they were screwing the routers that were updated with the new firmware. Roll back to the previous firmware you were using and then reset to factory default and reconfig your router.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
I'm not having any issues so Im going to contunue where I am till the next one is releasd or netgear actually says something. Going back means the print vulnerabilty is not fixed which is insane. What the hell are they doing. <sigh>

I would say if you are not having issues stick with what you have until Netgear offer up a new firmware. Or let us know what to do. I for one dont want to go back to a firmware that leaves a security vulnerability in my router thats for sure. I really cant see my next router being a netgear.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Hi,
Really annoyed that this driver isn't up, just bought a Arlo camera and now nothing to connect it with. Can anyone email me the firmware. I dont use all the fancy settings on my router so dont think port forwarding issues will bug me. email steveo_chi@hotmail.com
Thanks
Steve

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Well, since Netgear has pulled / deleted / removed all verison of 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 firmware for the Nighthawk R7000 as of today 2/13/16, does this mean the Arlo support is pulled forever - or will it come back?

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Yeah it true.
It seems the port forwarding works falling back from 6.28 to 5.48. But DLNA is partly mess.Will need to see if removing the drive and replugging will fix the issue . But once shown and streaming its not disconnecting. but the issue could be broadcasting it vi UPNP. if any client searches its shows but its empty when browsed further.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
So can anyone give us a date when the new firmware will be out? Also more information from netgear would have been great and less hysteria on the forum. Certain posters were telling everyone to downgrade to 1.0.4.30 which is fine as long as you dont mind a readyshare print vulnerabilty being on the R7000, its not a huge bug, but its still far from ideal to have any vulnerabilty as part the default firmware you can downgrade to. Netgear could have handled all of this in a better way with info on what owners should/should not be doing as regards to 1.0.6.28
I am really disappointed in this whole debarkle, from forum misinformation, with no devs stepping in with help and advice, to Netgear saying nothing publically about removing the latest updates, or when a new one will be released. A total mess from begining to end. Oh and maybe just maybe Netgear after 4 years at least with various other routers having the same issues with IPV6 they could get that working. The DGND3700v2 had messed up IPV6 back in 2012. At least other manufactures and third party firmware makers seem capable of decent IPV6 support, so why can't Netgear sort this out.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
I bought the r7000 last night and didn't see any of this thread before now. When I didn't see the arlo option I called in. It took 45 minutes and 2 differnt people before I was told they pulled it. The agent is going to call me back tomorrow with a status. When I find out more I will post.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Hi All,
My router is running 1.0.6.28 and since last night I cannot get an external IP and therefor no Internet... Don't know if it's related but the router is basically useless.
Any ideas? Is it worth flashing back an older firmware? - 1.0.4.30?
The steps to downgrade FW as I understand are:
Power on the Router
Wait several seconds
Hold down Reset for approx 5
Connect to 192.168.1.1
Flash Firmware 1.0.4.30
The Router will reboot
Wait until Router has completed initialising
Hold down Reset for another 5 seconds approx.
manually re-enter settings.
Is that all?
If I can fix this without flashing an older firmware I would prefer too, but not sure how as even entering a static ISP IP Address doesn't work. (I have Fibre)
Thanks.
