If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.
All devices connect on mine by just disabling security, of course that is inacceptable!
So you confirm that with the SSID disabled, your devices cannot connect to the network? That you have to enable the broadcast for them to be on the network?
My android tablets and my Kindles can't connect IF the SSID isn't broadcasted. I haven't had the time to check with my laptop running Win10. I'll do that tonight. But since it was working before and I haven't changed their configurations, it has to be the R7000 somewhere...
After playing around with 5.52 and 6.28 both of them did not work for me - which is kind of interesting as I do nothing specail with the router - no guest wlan, no port forwarding - just plain simple WLAN router. Anyway, 6.28 was super looooow on UI, downgraded to 5.53 and lost my 5Ghz - and yes, did multiple factory resets per menue and button and reconfigured manually,. I now went back to 4.28 as it simply seems to do what it is supposed to do. The only interesting thing I came across is that it keeps losing assigned names to WLAN clients when it comes to access management. Good luck all ...
Hello :)
Sorry what do you mean Ultra slow on UI? What's UI? :(
I'll have to check in the morning, but my speedtest.net was 200Mb slower than before... But it might be because the servers were... busy.
Hi-ho - with UI I mean User Interface, means menues of the firmware front end - no the throughput. So under 6.28 the whole user interface was pretty slow on response for me - regardless if connecting wireless or wired. Hope this clarifies.
