Netgear Nighthawk RS700 MLO?
Hey I've read that Netgear is working for over a year now on MLO support. The last update I've read was from last december from DarrenM. Now again over 7 months later still no sign of MLO even with a new firmware update... For a premium router this is pretty damn bad support.

Unable to upgrade FW stuck on firmware v1.0.7.86
RS700 stuck on firmware v1.0.7.86_2.0.82 My RS700 shows a firmware update available, but the update process goes through and ends up with the original version. I have even tried a factory reset just taking the default settings to get online and then upgrading and it appears to go through all the steps but ends up on the original firmware. I have tried manual updates with different browsers I have been offered v1.0.7.96 v1.0.9.6 neither firmware upgrade will take. currently always stuck on v1.0.7.86

RS 700 will not allow some devices to connect to internet after last firmware update
Updated my RS 700 to 1.0.9.6 and now it takes 2 or 3 reboots for it to sync with the modem and when it does, it will not allow 2 of my devices on the 2.4ghz network to connect to the internet. I’ve replaced those devices with new ones and the same thing happens during setup, the respective tech support teams are at a loss. 5ghz and 6ghz bands seem fine, the 2.4ghz seems to have reduced range. Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Firmware 1.0.9.6 Issues
After upgrading to the latest firmware on my RS700, some wireless devices cannot connect to my EX80 extender. I don't have the one-network name bs enabled but it was working fine before this router firmware upgrade. I had to revert back to the old firmware to get it working again. Why don't they test these things thoroughly before releasing???
