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 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.
Has anyone any news about the Netgear engineers? Still no work arround, no decent fix, nothing!
I like to find out how many users have 2.4GHz drop problems. Is there someone who like to arrange this? Maybe with a poll or something. I think the number is only growing and growing.

There is also a negative that you are losing hw acceleration. Just saying. I have used them all. There are cons and prons to all of them.
The benefit of XWRT-Vortex is that it has full support of NAT (or HW) acceleration, so you don't lose any performance. Read http://xvtx.ru/xwrt/about.htm

I think you are absolutely right. Maybe the HW accelaration causes this problem? Anyway, this time my network has got an enormous boost when I stopped using Netgears FW.
