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 had similar issues with QoS with multiple devices so I just disabled it. I'm not worried about my speed anyway since I have plenty. (100mbps).
I also setup all my streaming devices on LAN as much as possible or 5ghz. My phones and laptops also use 5ghz. Low priority devices and my kids tablets and guests run off 2.4ghz.
Hi all,
no bug fix, no time line, nothing from offical NG site till now.
Don´t think that is a normal behavior for an US company . Bur for sure not the best reputation to get a bigger footprint in Europe.
Anyhow .. I think I have to swap to Vtex or Tomato. But just in case... do someone have any expirience to go back to original NG SW?

My advice would be XWRT-Vortex, it is rock solid stable and easy to use. There is a way to go back to stock, but I'm pretty sure you won't go back once installed.
I'd support XWRT-Vortex as well. Switched to the current version and have had no drop offs. To be fair I haven't tried Tomato so I can't make any statements that 1 is better than the other. I'm just happy to have a stable router at this point. Probably won't go back to NG FW unless I see some happy customers on this thread. Not sure I'd buy a NG when current router craps out.
Well, all customers will be happy when NG give them a stable firmware, still I'll be on XWRT-Vortex. Never go back as it is very stable and has a great GUI. Easy to setup and some nice features.
Latest update on R7000 as of 4PM (Pacific Time), January 12, 2018.
We are continuing to work through the disconnects noted by the community by engaging with some of our users. We are working on a firmware version that is currently being tested in our lab and is being monitored over the next few days. We would also encourage other user in the community who are experiencing the disconnects on the 2.4GHz band and want to help through this process to reach out to us to work together.
Thanks, Dave
