You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....
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!

First, make the firmware routers working! 100% working, not 10%!
Second, even cheap Chinese brands do not have such problems. Are not you ashamed?
Third, by fixing your first 2 things, then you start to do third! I mean this:

I am so disappointed with Netgear on this one.

I have been running an R7000 at home with no problems. I just bought another one for my in-laws, then lost half a day trying to configure an Android device that just wouldn't work on either 2.4 or 5GHz.

Finally turning of Access Control solved it (thanks for the tip earlier in this thread).

Of course, I worked out afterwards the router had upgraded itself to 1.0.9.18 on first boot. Thanks a lot Netgear. I now have to leave the family with a wifi setup that could go unstable at any time.
