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 been tweaking my router for months to solve this issue. FYI: I'm not a Pro, but fairly knowledgeable. I know IP, but not hardware.
What did you do? I read the release notes, but they were a marketing consumable.
Also, my signal strength went up 14% and I haven't touched a thing.
What problem was fixed for you? Most here are posting about loss of device connectivity on the 2.4GHz radio, an issue which often doesn't show up for over 24 hours. Many, including I, have confirmed that this update did not fix the issue.
That is exactly what got fixed for me. Android has a known flaw that I believe is the root cause of my problem. The Nighthawk did help. Now it lets devices switch radios with delay. I've been working on this for months. BTW most of my devices are static or reserved IPs
