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!
Pass thru Bandwidth speeds is limited to 25Mbs. 200+ straight connect. Disable QoS and pass thru nears 200. Reenable = ~25-50Mbs on manual and back to <25Mbs on Dynamic.
Disabling QoS makes gaming latency imposible. "Teleporting" FPS; and "Strict" or "Moderate" NAT at best.
My latency is erratic and rarely below 80ms. This further wrecks havoc on gaming. Some of it is Spectrum sourced (technician to come tomorrow) but numbers are worse through router. Latency numbers were mimicked prior new firmware.
This all started when I upgraded firmware to V1.0.9.18_1.2.27 yesterday. I had no problem with old firmware that was over a year old. I should have noted which release it was so I could revert to it.
After reading many of the posts in conjunction with my own experience and posts on other sites. I believe I will forego any futher investment in NetGear products. Complaints are numerous and varied and appreciable response has been lukewarm and infrequent. I will be shelving or discarding all my suspect NG equipment. Simply donating them to someone would be giving them a unnecessary frustration.
Thank you NetGear but I think we should see other routers. Good luck but lose my number.
I received this from Jamesgl last night...

Just a question or two to everyone on this board...has anyone been helped by calling tech support about this issue?! Have they even acknowledged this issue in the last month and a half?! If I am wrong about this, I will get on hold with India or wherever, right now, but I don't think I am. Hey netgear, FIX IT! We didn't cause this, you did!
I didn't get it now. But my issue is not releated to Wi-Fi and began only after lealising of version 1.0.9.18. I think we will get it after new year holidays.
