NETGEAR has announced the availability of a new firmware package compatible with its D7000 wireless router, namely version 1.0.0.34, which promises to fix the access control display issue where wireless devices aren’t shown correctly, as well as other problems.

Specifically speaking, this update corrects Australia’s Eastern Time daylight issue and also removes the bug that caused download Steam to slow down (or even stop) when the device is sending upstream traffic.

Moreover, NETGEAR managed to resolve the issue where Wi-Fi schedule wouldn’t work properly when a non-English language is selected, as well as the event in which the device stops responding to a DHCP request when Cisco DPH-154 microcell broadcasts a DHCPdiscover requests.

Considering these changes, if you want to apply the present firmware, check your router’s currently installed version and make sure that it isn’t either newer or matching this release. If all is ok, write down all settings you have modified from the default values, and save and unzip the downloadable archive.

Afterwards, establish a wired connection between the router and your computer, log into the device's administration page, go to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Upgrade, click ‘Browse,” and navigate and select the newly-extracted .img file.

That said, download NETGEAR D7000 Router Firmware 1.0.0.34, apply it on your wireless unit, and check our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
