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 have this f/w installed and have hit a problem.
It is with the DLNA server on READYSHARE.
It is with my iPad. I have a variety of programs on it (iOS 11.2.1) that access the network and work with a DLNA server. ACEPlayer (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aceplayer-plus/id480962404?mt=8) is one of them. When I access the R7000 which it sees, I select Media Explorer, R7000, Browse Folders, and it is EMPTY! It used to show me folders and I could open that and select a file to play. I tried a few DLNA players with the same results.
This USED to work fine, last used a few weeks ago. Complicating all this is that 3 things have happened probably after I last used it:
- iOS was updated to 11.2.1
- Netgear F/W updated
- ACEPlayer updated
Oh, I used NETGEAR GENIE to open READYSHARE and it works and sees the files?
I have searched the web looking for complaints that DLNA doesn't work on iPad's... can't find anything?
At a loss why Genie would work (it seems to d/l the file before playing it)?
Right now, I'm going to wait for awhile before doing anything, and assume someone here will verify if it is indeed the f/w or not. Don't see a reply on this, I'll look into the Beta .20 or go back to .18 that did work...
More info and debug on my DLNA problem...
I tried to look at the R7000 on the network using Windows Explorer on my wired PC. Not there? I user NET VIEW, not there? Really odd... So I entered NET VIEW \\192.168.1.1 and it showed the shares?
Perplexed I decided to REBOOT the R7000.
Surprise, PC Windows Explorer and NET VIEW see the R7000. So does ACE PLAYER see the folders and can play the video files.
This has NEVER happened to me before... something has to be wrong here. It can't be due to a power drop either. My Modem and R7000 are on a UPS.
