    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    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 upgrade to this firmware after i have  encountered the following problems

 

NAS synology connect to ethernet see all internal LAN but not connect to internet

All android device same problem, connect to internal LAN but not connect to internet

 

Downgrade firmware R7000 to V1.0.9.14_1.2.25 the problem has disappeared

 

the firmware 1.0.9.18_1.2.27 has problems

    I was wondering the same thing;  seems like it has gotten quiet the past 24-36 hours.

    I for one am still having the issues.  I've been very patient.  But it won't be long before I bail on Netgear.

    There's really not much that hasn't already been said, multiple times. Netgear could make a meaningful statement, but all that most of the rest of us could contribute would just be chatter.

      My fix works. Someone who hasn't loaded custom firmware is welcome to check it out. Takes no time to make the changes I did, and mine has 0 issues dropping the 2.4GHz bands now.
      Just trying to help fellow frustrated customers out since Netgear doesn't seem to be.

      It is not that I wanted things to be rehashed, I was hoping that Netgear had done something with the firmware that is being tested. Was/is anything going on.

      I would like to update fireware to the latest so that I can find out if that firmware will fix a different problem I have. If it dosen't, I fix it another way.

      Hope the firmware is stable.
