This update was pushed to my router and numerous disconnect issues started happening immediately. I thought I just needed to reboot the router and when that didn’t work, I started looking at the router settings from a hardwired computer.
The wireless networks were reset to the defaults, but my custom MAC address for the router did persist (I use a dumb switch connection method for AT&T fiber). I put the wireless networks back to what I had previously, but the internet was still getting serious pauses and lags. Even my hardwired computer suffered from the same issues.
I did a hard reset of the router, reconfigured the networks and MAC back by hand (not from a config file backup) and the issues persist.
I then reflashed the 1.0.11 firmware, did a hard reset, configured the router by hand and all devices still have lag and pauses in data flow, both wireless and Ethernet.
I have been forced to go back to using the AT&T pace modem and none of my devices have any issues.
This firmware update seems to have messed up the router enough that reflashing older firmware and factory resetting doesn’t fix the issues.
What the hell am I supposed to do now? Buy a new router? That’s unacceptable.
