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!
It's gone quiet because either, people have given up with Netgear or, like me, have rolled back to an earlier Firmwear which works and are waiting for the mythical communication from NG.
This lucky combination fixed my problem (staying with 1.0.9.18). stable for 10 days now. before, I had to reboot router 2-3 times a day for dropped devices to reconnect (getting stuck at getting IP). I have 23 devices, 5 of them google phone/home.
router config:
use smart connect - single SSID for 2.4 and 5G
use Google DNS
Use reserved IP for all devices
no guest network
no QoS
no UPnP
no readyShare
WAN setup - defaults
LAN setup - defaults + add address reservations
WPS - disabled
Wireless setting -
2.4G - channel - 1 (found weakest neighbor -95 dBm on channel 1)
WPA2-PSK
enable 20/40 coexist
5G - channel 40 (not able to see neighbor's)
And, should not forget this seems to be the most important one for me:
Enable "Access Control" but allow any device to connect
