Hello from France 😉 Before, I used AP MODE with v1.0.2.68 and it works perfectly... yesterday, I have upgraded to the new firmware v1.0.2.74 : lost WiFi connections + no internet access + reboot + restart... 🙄😒🤔🙁
In fact, with the v1.0.2.74, the R7800 rooter works correctly a few minutes, and after, lost WIFI connection + no internet + reboot 😕 restart, works a few minutes... and again and again... I try many firmware flash v1.0.2.74 thru the web interface + clean RESET ... same pb...
R7800 v1.0.2.74 firmware is OUT 🙄 R7800 v1.0.2.74 firmware contains BUGS 🙁 even with a RESET & a fresh install...
So ... Revert back to v1.0.2.68 firmware : WIFI + INTERNET + AP-MODE WORK PERFECTLY BYE
I also experience wifi droppings since I have installed the latest firmware. I do not use it as an AP, but as normal router and have the same issue. Hopefully they will fix this soon with a new update.....
I've noticed several problems to .76 reported in the forum.
I noticed once I went to it, all connections, local and internet of course would drop, which has never happened in my history with this product. I rolled back to .74, and it still kept happening. I've seen it happen only once with .68, and what is weird is that .74 never used to do it either. I wonder if I should factory reset and then fresh update to .76 because something clearly has gone astray judging by all the issues listed in this and other threads.
Tried it a 2nd time after a factory reset. No dice. .76 so far in all the years I have had this router is by far the worst firmware update I've seen. ...in fact I don't recall having much problems before this.
I also never had any problems. Decided to buy a new router... it is almost if they do this un purpose, but i am not buying a netgear router. I switch to Acer RT-AX88U as i do not trust netgear to solve this problem soon. Could have been the netgear AX8, but no thanks as for this sort of problems appears to be with a lot of netgear routers.
Ok so awhile back what I did was factory reset by holding a toothpick in the reset button for half a minute just to be extra sure. When it asks you to update to the latest firmware (.76) I said yes.
Now here's the kicker: do NOT restore your saved settings. Put them in manually one by one.
I haven't had any issues at all now. You can see my past posts that .76 was giving me lots of problems until I did this (I discussed it in several threads, not just this one.)
