Nighthawk EX7300

I am unable to connect my EX7300 (range extension mode) to my EX7000 (access point mode) when I update to either of the two latest firmware revs (1.0.2.140 or 1.0.2.136) on the EX7300.  The EX7000 has the latest rev (1.0.1.78_1.0.140).  In order to restore service, I have to reflash the EX7300 back to rev (1.0.1.78).  I would not mind except I cannot save off the configuration files of the two EX7300s I have...presumably a software clitch since I tried multiple browsers.

I am thinking the EX7000 firmware is more likely to blame, since a lot of people have struggled to get 1.0.1.78 to work properly.  

If you see more issues, try downgrading the EX7000 to 1.0.0.66.

Thanks Stephen. I will give that a shot. I know the newer EX7300 firmware fixes some issues including mesh support. I also plan to test the new EX8000 soon. I use a combo of Netgear range extenders to provide all my WiFi coverage and turn off the ISP provided wireless.
