r7000 Wrong FW Update Instructions

Just want to point out for anyone that has gone through the same struggle I have with the r7000 not working properly due to bad firmware update instructions. Before and after a firmware update you should reset to factory defaults(through web gui). Always use a wired connection and disable any other wireless devices. Doing this seemed to of fixed my router as it was not working properly before.

Basically it created random bugs and kept disconnecting devices and lag spiking at random. I would not save settings before since it can possibly recreate the bugs. It's better to reset up everything from scratch.

What kind of problems.  Can you save your settings before update and if so how?

I take it that the R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.1.22 update is not what is being talked about.
