New R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.100
It's been a while but finally NG has released a new firmware for R7000! :smileyhappy: R7000 Firmware V1.0.11.100_10.2.100 Download: https://kb.netgear.com/000061805/R7000-Firmware-Version-1-0...
I have had issues with firmware updates on this router in the past. The key seems to be to reset everything before and after the udate. I unplugged all ethernet cables except the one for the pc doing the update. This disconnects my wired devices as well as my MOCA network. I then reset the router using the hole on the router and a paper clip, unfolded. I then rebooted the PC and went right into the browser to install the new firmware. After the firmware update I give the router a few minutes to completely reboot. I then re-apply my router settings, and reboot the router again. Then again wait for the router to completly boot up. I then connect the moca bridge and wait a couple minutes. Then I reboot every network device one at a time, to force a new dhcp and/or wireless connection.
It has been several days now, network sppeds are good, no dropped devices, no issues. On the network I have Android, IOS, Windows, MOCA bridges, moca conected tivos, doorbell, water heater, tablets, phones, etc... I will update this post if I have an issue.
That's how I applied the update over a wired connection and a brand new stock setup from factory defauts. For me the router really started having issues after i tried to enable the guest network.
iFrog Is it worth just checking that you don't have Smart Connect enabled? Mine is unchecked. Not saying it makes any difference, but you never know.....
Also, out of curiosity, how many WiFi enabled devices do you have connected at any one time?
I do have SmartConnect enabled and the guest network 2.4ghz only is on. About 6 wired or moca devices and 13 wireless.
