R7000 5ghz not working correct with the newest firmware.

Dear,forummembers

I have the folowong question.

I have a nighthawk R7000 with the newest firmware.

There are difficulties with the 5ghz band i have discovered.

Is this possibly a bad bug in the firmware?,i din't had that prolems in priviously verssions of the firmware.

Normaly i use 2.4ghz but i would to switch over to 5ghz because al my devices support 5ghz.

And there is more bantwith with the 5ghz band.

Now i'm using the 2.4ghz band,all works correctley,when i swich over to 5ghz then my whole network does not work.

I was expirimenting a little about that today.

Can some one tell me what i do wrong?, or there is real a problem with the newest firmware.

 

On my router is Firmwareversie installed.
V1.0.6.28_1.1.83  with the Dutch language pack.

 

Because i'm from Holland.

 

Thanks,in advance.

    Okay, I am working with Firmware Version
    V1.0.5.62_1.1.87 and all seems to be working as it should.

    I have tried all different settings and all work.

    Thanks for all the great beta firmware upgrades.

      Thanks for your help.

      I have Ziggo with the Horizon mediabox as internetprovider.

      The Horizon mediabox is also a router,i have edited some security settings by my self in that mediabox.

      Now i have removed my Nighthawk router,and all wireless connections are working fine on 5ghz on the Horizon box.

      Nou i have only connected my sattelite receiver bij cable on my Horizonbox and my home cinemaset because my home cinemaset does not support 5ghz wireless,and my sattelite receiver has no wifi build in.

      Netgear is making good devices,but now i'm sorry that i use the Nighthawk router no longer for now.
