I have been running the new version of the 7260 firmware in the 2.4 GHz band.
After approximately 24 hours, I have had no disconnects. At a distance of
about 2 m from a Netgear WNDR3400v2 router, I get netperf transfers of 61-63
Mbps in both directions. In the much-quieter 5 GHz band, the transfers run at
~90 Mbps.

The new firmware looks good.

Larry
