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!

We understand that some customer may be experiencing difficulty remaining connected to the 2.4GHz band of their R7000 router. NETGEAR is aware some customers are experiencing this. We are continuing to investigate this to determine causes and provide a solution. However, from reviewing the information to date we have some general directions but need your assistance to find the absolute cause. To that end, If you are experiencing this difficulty and are willing to work with NETGEAR to help troubleshoot the connection, we would like to work with you.
Should you want to help troubleshoot with NETGEAR, please be aware you may be required to load software (e.g. Teamviewer), spend an hour or so in front of your computer, as well as, provide various pieces of information such as configuration files, what you’ve done to date to resolve the issue, etc.
If you’re still interesting in working with us please private message the moderator as we’ll need to get your personal contact information. If you prefer not to troubleshoot with us at the time, we will provide updates to this community conversation as they become available.
Thanks and we look forward to help resolving these difficulties for you and the entire NETGEAR community.
Thanks, Dave
Ceepeebee just look back to yesterday or day before. You will see post from netgear person looking for volunteers.
Just a note to everyone that used or is using older firmware to remain stable...in March of 2017 alone, there were roughly 2000 router attacks. Hackers were using the newest hacks to gain access to routers and to make them work as a group to gather sensitive information and attack hospitals, companies, or government entities. Going to firmware that's roughly a year old or six months old is not doing anyone any favors. This is not a fix. I don't just use my systems to watch netflix. Myself, like many others are reliant on the updated security of routers to maintain the safety of our information as well has client information. Please, please, all of you need to watch the old firmware. You currently make up a large group that can be easily hacked and used for larger attacks. Thank you.
