Feedback for R7000 New firmware 1.0.9.18
Hi All,
Please post here for any update/issue related to the latest firmware 1.0.9.18.
You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!
I've basically had the same experience as Laudek above. When one band is having issues (eg. 2.4GHz), I can see the 2.4GHz network, I can join it, but I get no ip and therefore no connection to the router (can't log in) and cant see any other device on the network. If the 2.4Ghz network is having issues, I can switch to the 5GHz network and access to the router, internet and any other device connected on the 5GHz network. The reverse happens too with the 5Ghz network having issues but 2.4GHz working fine.
Sounds like DHCP might fail?
Can you connect a Windows PC and open a CMD window and type:
IPCONFIG /ALL
Do this when it's still working. See what your IP lease time is. Then try IPCONFIG /RELEASE * and IPCONFIG /RENEW *, then IPCONFIG /ALL again. Did your PC get a new IP address? (does it still access the internet?)
Finally wait until it loses access again and type IPCONFIG /ALL. Does it still have an IP address? Did it fail roughly when the lease expired?

So far everything is working fine. I had had troubles with .12 and 14 so I flashed back to 1.0.9.6, did factory reset. Updated to 1.0.9.18 today and speeds and connectivity have been good.
- To add to this thread that enabling circle on this build does the same as all other versions I have tested. The internet speed tests slower and slower until eventually it is frustrating to use. Turn off circle and full speed is back. No reboot needed.

Great, please let us know if it stays that way.
I hope it works for me.
