As the title states.  Having 2.4 ghz radio problems and noticed A20 (same hardware) is 7+ months newer.  Perhaps A20 has fixed the problem, or doesn't have the same problem.

Yes the Archer C4000 and A20 are the same hardware so the firmware techincally should work on either.  Although firmware also checks for Model number in the hardware, so you likely will not be able to "upgrade" to the Archer A20's firmware.  The difference in the build number is likely due to the router's release date.  The C4000 came out first.   What kind of issues are you having with the router?

Carl,

 

2.4 ghz stopped working, I'm the guy pestering you in the other thread for a status update.

 

I'll maybe see if it will update.. but like you said, probably will fail a precheck.
