The newly released update improves 5 GHz wireless performance when Beamforming is enabled

NETGEAR has announced the latest addition to its Nighthawk 802.11ac router family, namely the Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart Router (R7500), and along with this release, the producer has also made available the 1.0.0.52 firmware version that increases the device’s performance even more

Specifically speaking, this new firmware package enhances the 5 GHz wireless performance while Beamforming is enabled, the 2.4 GHz wireless connection in noisy environment, as well as the 5 GHz wireless connection when the R7500 unit is set to wireless bridge mode.

In addition to that, the Gigabit wireless router also gets fixes for the loop problem encountered when two R7500 devices were used in the same network, as well as for the one where the USB LEDs would show improper status when USB disks were reconnected too fast.

If you want to make use of these fixes and improvements, then save and extract the downloadable archive, connect the router to the computer using an Ethernet cable (wireless technology tends to disconnect randomly), and back up all settings as the update process will restore factory default values.

Now, log into the router’s user interface, go to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Upgrade, click the “Browse” button, navigate and select the newly extracted .img file, click “Upload,” and wait for the Nighthawk device to apply the new software.

With this in mind, download NETGEAR R7500 Router Firmware 1.0.0.52, apply the update by following the above-described steps, and enjoy the new benefits that the present release brings about.
