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 the same problem with my router even after V1.0.9.20_1.2.28 upgrade. 2.4Ghz devices are losing connection after some time and the only workaround is a reboot of the router! Never had Smart Connect enabled! Is there a fix for this?
Very disappointing from Netgear!!!!!
- Fix is buying a new router. Or wait a a couple of months, maybe Netgear will fix the problem........ You need a lot of patience.
- Solved: I have an AC2200 wireless extender. I needed to upgrade the firmware on it. It was causing my wireless router to choke and drop internet. Been 5 days with no drop.
- SeanPGH Ooh yes we all have to update other devices in the network, it is not the fault of any new Netgear R7000 firmware or the R7000 itself. Sorry for my reaction but I hope it is solved for you. My trust is zero. It can be stable for a few days but 2.4GHz will stop after a while, believe me. What a coincidence we all have the same problem at the same time and Netgear is working 24/7 to generate betas. They know they did something wrong.
Same problem here, WIFI issues with Samsung phones after V1.0.9.14_1.2.25. (.14 version is the one that works.)
1.0.9.18 and 1.0.9.20 (hot fix) do not fix this issue. So I have to run a router with a number of known vulneratbilities, it is a shame. The Q/A at Netgear is lacking severely, this is all preventable with automated testing of new FW roll outs. IMO they should point out the problems with the Samsung phones and also keep readable bugs for their end users. The time that gets lost by millions of individuals having this figure this out is immense. And also the good ones that try to keep their routers up to date get punished the hardest.
Bought a new router (tplink) before flashing tomato on the r7000: what a relief. R7000 is functioning as an access point while the c5400 has become the ‘mainrouter’. No slow data throughput anymore, no 2.4 ghz WiFi problems.
- I too am likely to go back to 1.0.7.x today.
This is a total joke. Not only am I wasting my vacation troubleshooting my network, but also my home automation and security is also unreliable as a result.
It is amazing that NG still has no fix. This is so bad!
