New firmware of EX6200?
Hi everyone, I have my EX6200 running on AP mode and connected to my R7000 with the cable (firmware version=1.0.3.68). I encounterred the same problem described in the topic "EX6200 connection issues with the firmware version V1.0.3.68_1.1.104", no matter how I set for EX6200, the wireless connection speed never exceeded 54mbps. I saw the solution in that topic was to roll back to previous version, I just wonder if there will be a new firmware to solve this issue eventually (this is a huge issue in my opinion for such networking product). Downgrade to previous version should not be a final solution, isn't it?

Netgear isnt one for rapid change when they get it wrong, "looks good so it cant be all bad", WRONG.
They have had so many report this I cannot believe how poor they respond.

Agree. In my opinion such bug is not acceptable for a product like EX6200, it's like having a car but only run 10KM per hour at max. I don't know if others didn't notice this issue or it only happens to some special ones.

Hi DarrenM, thanks for letting me know, I will definitely try it.
- triplexoneAspirantI have disabled the 2.4Ghz and did have a chance to test it. 5Ghz seems no problem here.

Hello noboundaries
You may want to try a factory reset and load the new firmware on it.

Tried that Darren no joy..
It came on green 2.4 and then flicked to amber .
I had a look at the browser log in and 24 mbs down form 300Mbs.
Changed channels on the router, no joy
I have disable the 2.4 for now on the router (d6300) and extender.
