Tried Smart Connect Option - Now 2.4GHz Devices Won't Connect
I enabled the new Smart Connect feature on my R7000 and nothing would connect and get an IP address to either . I turned it off and reset my wireless settings to what they were before the change and now nothing will connect to the 2.4GHz wireless network. I can sit and watch the devices try and connect but they never do and never get an IP address. I am not having issues with any devices that can connect to the 5GHz wireless network. How do I fix this without having to reset the whole router and reconfigure all of my custom settings (talking over an hour or two as I have a lot of security settings setup)? I can connect them to the Guest Wireless 2.4GHz network but not the main one.
Exact same problem after updating my R7000 yesterday. I think it has to do with the new Arlo camera support now built into the router (by pass secondary network/hub) if you have one.
I believe this because I disabled Arlo (only found on 'Basic' tab), which did not help, then turned off the 2.4 ghz band completely, and Arlo was STILL broadcasting on the 2.4 Ghz band- clearly doing more than it should.
That is exactly what I did not want to do. I have a ton of custom settings configured. Over 20 devices connecting with a dozen static IP addresses, access control settings for allowed and blocked devices, ReadyShare, QoS, Parental Controls with blocked sites and services, logging with emailed logs and alerts, advanced custom wireless configuration, VPN, etc..... We are talking about a long time to take screen shots of all of my custom settings and then reprogramming the router. All becuase of a jacked up new firmware build. There has got to be another solution.
