I have been trying on newest firmware for my router R8000 for past 2 days with DLNA off., QoS off, Cirlce parental control on
1, Day oneL No problem with all router function (except DLNA off) including attached USB drives' files that can be aceesed to either locally or remotely, wired or wirelessly through wireless devices. This was good only for around 24 hours and then thigns went bad again, ie. loss of connection, router was "freezed". Noted that during the later 23 hours, access to USB drives' content thorugh ReadyShare and ReadyCloud became flaky, ( not all files are displayed on Readyshare connection nor acessible)
2. Reset router, this time turning on DLNA with QoS on. and it was good only for approxmately 2 hours and then router got "freezed" again.
I have managed to reverse the firmware to previous stable one, and voila, things are good again.
Conlcusion:
Bad newest firmware out there. Just have to wait until they come up with the good fix.
Again, this is for model R8000, but I assume if the same problems persist for R8000P, then the newest firmware for it can be as Bad as well.
I did not catch you last post so I did upgrade last night. I will update later. I just want to know when your router drop the internet can you login to the router to see the log file?
aataree, the QoS you're talking about - is it under Setup -> QoS Setup -> Dynamic QoS (tab) -> Enable Dynamic QoS? Mine is already unchecked anyways? Unless I'm looking in the wrong area. Yeah, disabling DLNA on the latest firmware didn't really do anything for me, either. Still had a crash or two, just not as often.
Unrelated, and anyone can feel free to PM me the answer so we don't go off topic - Why is Advanced Setup -> Wireless Settings -> "Enable MU-MIMO" disabled by default? Wasn't one of the big things that the 8000P boasted over the 8000 that it had this support? Are there drawbacks to me enabling it? Perhaps I just don't understand the added value in the first place...
After I disable the DLAN the system has not drop the internet for a week even the router has upgradeted to the newerst firmware. The QoS is disabled on my 8000p. --- Just an update.
From the ecperiences, the 2 things can not be concurrently on DLNA, QoS. So, either one of them has to be off. This is for R8000P. My router has 3 applications on it DLNA, QoS and Circle parental control and they can not run simultaneously and will result in router crashing.
I am having the same issue. Everything is still connected but any speed test shows a VERY slow connection (under 1mbps, I have a 300mbps connection). The router was stable on the firmware that I orginally had on it (1.2.1.6). Today I've downgraded to 1.1.4.6 and will report back if it fixes the problem. I've had to reboot my router about once every two days since the problem started. I don't have a hard drive currently attached.
I have been having the same issue with the R8000P dropping every 24 hours with tech support no help. They actually act as if they have no knowledge of this issue. Is there a fix yet?
I'm assuming there are no new updates on the progress of the actual fix.
I'm on the latest firmeware version. I had disabled QoS at one point, but after seeing no improvement, I turned it back on. And oddly enough - it went from an every day reset to an every 4 or 5 days reset. Not quite sure why there's a difference, but I'll take it until we get a resolution.
@aataree The most progressive memory consumption is the DLNA while it scans the media in the attached USB drive.with high capacity. It will immediately halt the router operation when it does not have enough memory resources. For my R8000, I left QoS and Circle parental control off, and the router works perfectly fine. Best, Terry
I'm on the latest firmeware version. I had disabled QoS at one point, but after seeing no improvement, I turned it back on.
I had disabled DLNA and it did not help. Do one of you mind pointing me out where the QoS setting is that helped so I can disable, too? I found something that stated something along the lines of "Dynamic QoS" previously (as memory serves me, as I can't currently check), but wasn't sure that was the only QoS setting in there.
