Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Hello,
The best way is to download the firwmare, instead of doing it online. Since you have to do a reset BEFORE installing the new firmware, then another reset AFTER. And of course, never use the backups.
Like Killhippie, I have the latest firmware available and no problem whatsoever with it. WiFi works great, LAN also, printer is fine... Been up for 44 days straight and still fast and all.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
I downloaded the firmware and uploaded it from there.
Thing is, you have to change your IP after you reset the router.
So :
_ download the firmware
_ change your IP on your computer (192.168.1.X if my memory is correct)
_ reset the router
_ upload the firmware
_ reset the router
_ change its config
_ change your IP config, if needed
Worked for me.
*NORMALLY* you should be able to do the update online, but this time, with this last firmware, it seems it screws the router bad...
I know I won't try any online update from now on. And I will stick to the actual firmware for a time before upgrading it, I'll wait for the feedbacks of all the users before I jump off the cliff again.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
I just go to the netgear site and download the firmware to my computer. Reset the router login, update the firmware (by Ethernet never over wifi) reset it again once its updated and rebooted itself, then add all my settings. Never had any issues. You have not turned off WMM or 20/40 coexistence have you? Both should be left at their default values, especially 20/40 Coexistence unless you live in the middle of a forest and have no wifi networks near you.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Which version of firmware is currently on the router?
Also, do you by chance have Kaspersky AV? It has been shown that for some reason, Kaspersky wants to block access to the router home page. The workaround was to disable or uninstall it while you need to access the router.
If this isn't your case, then compare the IP information when you have it hard wired vs. wireless. You can do this by typing "ipconfig" in a command terminal window. See if the assigned IP address, netmask and and default gateway are the same between wired vs. wireless connections. You should be able also to use the IP address of the gateway (should be the R7000 IP address on the LAN) as the URL instead of routerlogin.net.
Another interesting thing to look at would be what address "routerlogin.net" resolves to (in the same command window, try "ping routerlogin.net".

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
Don't get it.......can't find this firmware on the netgear website.... latest firmware is Version 1.0.4.30....
I do have the 1.0.6.28 firmware but got all kinds of troubles, can't remote acces the router with the genie app, harddrives do function well on my network but not visible in the readycloud etc. etc. and yes everything is registered and all 😉
So i wanted to try and re-upgrade this firmware from local storage instead OTA and see if things get better.....
But as i said before.....can't find it on the netgear site

Netgear pulled the release due to bugs. They are testing a new release. Keep checking every few days. It should come out, hopefully soon.

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
The engineers are working on the next firmware. They know the last one wasn't a success, that's why they removed it.
Just have to wait is all 🙂

Re: R7000 New Firmware 1.0.6.28 released
I ended up switching to Merlin - v378.56_2 and have not looked back. Even the Netgear 1.0.4.30 firmware gave me the same issues with my WAN dropping. I did a full reset and re-configured so there was no dodgy backup and I still had issues.
I work in IT and things like this happen, in saying that, how they have the gall to charge $89 to fix their mistake? Not a good look IMO...
