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!

Can you tell me why they do not use the release page to list the changes? For us it's very important what's changed. And it not wrong to admit faults. Just be honest to all Netgear users. The number of posts were less if Netgear was quicker with reporting the issues on the community. Let us know what the developer team is doing.
- Connection is better clearly after hard reset: speedtest.net doesn't kill it. But randomly, wifi connection fails. Turn on/off wifi button on router fixes it. Also switching to 5 Ghz and back to 2.4Ghz fixes it or vice versa if the 5GHz fails
Did theses update fix WPA2 in AP mode ?I had to update to 1.0.9.18 an hour ago because also my old firmware version got the same problem again after 36 hours. I thought I had fixed it with an old V1.0.9.6_1.2.19 after flashing via the first FW ever. 3 resets and 3 old FW versions were not enough to make it it stable again.
I do not have the trust 1.0.9.18 is solving the 2.4GHz problem. I guess I have to buy a new router. Downtime is not acceptable anymore.

An earlier firmware seems to have fixed it though. More than a week is pretty good:
