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!
Just to add to the 2.4Ghz story. I have had many issues with 1.0.9.X past .6 branches of code as have been well documented in other threads. Most of my issues were speed related but have been fixed in .14 build. However all along I haven't had any issues with 2.4Ghz at all. I only have thermostat and sometimes iPhones on it (they sometimes hop from 5GHz). Never had to reboot router due to lost communictation for a month or longer. One thing I wanted to share in case it matters is my SSID / Wireless setup.
2 different SSID for 2.4 / 5 Ghz
Same WPA2 PSK
Smart Connect Disabled
Guest SSID Disabled
20/40 MHz Coexistence Enabled
My R7000 is over 3 years old also. My modifications from factory default are simply SSID and password config. I leave everything else as is. Just wanted to share in case it helps someone else. I installed .18 tonight and will see if my experience changes. Good luck to those having 2.4 GHz issues.
