I've now configured my R7000 to be my router and 5GHz wireless (I still have a WNDR3700 in use as a 2.4GHz access point). I've been using freedns.afraid.org for a couple of months on the old router. I cloned the settings to the R7000 and am having an issue. While the IP address was updated, I'm seeing activity every 10 minutes as follows (IP address obscured, address in original error message is correct):
I just got my R7000 and I noticed a high pitched noise coming out of the router when is handling wireless traffic. The noise disappears when WiFi is not used.
The noise is very annoying and louder than my laptop fan.
Is anybody else experiencing this? Is this normal?

I loaded the NEWD_STD firmware the one with 19M (24200 and 24500) and I cannot find a menu that has the overclock option.
Can you please help? Did I load the right firmware? Also when compare to the RT-AC66u I cannot find the Sensitivity Range (ACK Timing) on the R7000.
Enter the commands in the command window of the Administration tab.
nvram set clkfreq=1200,800
sleep 1
nvram commit
sleep 2
reboot
Press Run Command button at bottom of screen.
1200 is cpu freq and 800 is memory. Always set memory to 800.
No guarantees that everything will work properly when overclocking.

All you need is:
nvram set clkfreq=1200,800
nvram commit
You don't need to reboot. You'll find that your clock speed changes immediately in the router status upon doing the above.
Is there really no way to compile an old drivers using musl? I take back what I said before. Tonight has been reboots galore. Back to 24345 OLDD.
Fao Kong; It's an effort to do it, but if I got the serial output from the router at crash time, would this be off use? Has anybody else done this for you yet?

Yes, it is normal.
Do you know what is generating this noise, or why it is normal?
The noise source seems to be somewhere close to the power connector.
Looking at the router board, I don't see any obvious component (capacitor or ferrite bead) that can generate noise.
The PSU that comes with the router doesn't have a ferrite bead on the cable, like all quality PSUs. Maybe this is the reason. Unfortunately, I don't have another PSU that can output 12V and >= 3.5A to see if it reduces the noise.
I did not have any problems with OC at 1400. But again I'm not having any reboots period.
BUT I also did not see enough performance increase between 1200 and 1400 to justify the potential risk of the higher speed, heat, etc.
1200 does increase performance over 1000. Does quite a bit actually. _________________ Jim

I hadn't noticed such. I'm already using WPA2 Personal AES anyway.
It is "required" however? _________________ Jim

Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 1:42 Post subject: Custom Scripts and jffs Issuses
So I recently bought my R7000 and flashed kongs 2400M as soon as I opened it. Everything has been great so far. However, today I tried to SSH into the router and save some custom scripts in jffs and it was saying I had "read-only access". I have jffs enabled and it says I have 90 MB of free space, so I do not know what the problem is. Any suggestions?
OC is always YMMV.
Some of us can OC to 1400 without any issues.
Some can get 1200 but others cant get any OC without some issue.
Each router is different.
One of the symtops kong has noted with users contacting him with firmware flashing issues is OC.
He has said to revert to stock then flash firmware if you experience flashing issues before contacting him.
Operating any electronics outside of its intended specs can lead to unpredictable results.
If you get any OC with stability, great! If not, well netgear never sold it as OC friendly anyway.
