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 made the mistake of updating router to 1.0.9.18 from 1.7.x.
After the update none of the devices could connect to 2.4 GHz. And, one of my mobile devices only supports 2.4 GHz.
As a result, I tried R7000-V1.0.9.20_1.2.28 [BETA], but with same results.
Am currently back on 1.7.x, which is not a ideal situation but have no other choice.
Is there a stable firmware from 1.9.x series ?
What are other alternatives if any?
Regards,
- Netgear, why don't you give us a test build without Disney Circle running? It was introduced around the time the firmware started going wonky, it's job is to interfere with traffic, and even when it's turned off it's still running on the box.
It would be interesting to see if a build with no Circle integration works okay. Further to my previous message, I am trying V1.0.9.6_1.2.19. Things are looking fine since past 8 hours or so.
Not sure if I would again like to try higher version of the firmware.
I want to add my 2 cents. I started having issues on 9.12 with connecting to my home server. I thought it was the server and I was at the point to re-built the server, then I decided I would check if there are any issues with the router and here it is. Downgraded to 9.6 and I'm back to normal. Netgear's FW is the problem again. I have been helping Netgear with R6250 by working with their 2nd and 3rd level support. They can give you a debug enabled FW and help you capture trace so they can analyze it. For people who got an email from Netgear and if you feel you are technical ehough, please try to help replicate the issue. netgear admit and pull out the bad FW as you have done it before. I understand you get money from Disney Circle, but if it makes problem in FW then drop it. Be transparent otherwise, you will get issues from consumer protection agencies and/or class action lawsuits.
One of the great benefits with non-Netgear fw is that you get rid of the Disney nonsense as well.
1.0.9.6_1.2.19 has been stable for last two days, will be trying the next higher version.
2.4 band has internet connectivity with 1.0.9.12_1.2.23.
Will post back after couple of days.
