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!
You can go back to the older firmware but probably it won't solve your problem. Just flash an old firmware for R7000 the same way you flashed the new firmware, you only get a warning that the firmware will be older than installed and have to accept it. Right now the only way to fix your problem is flashing an alternative firmware.
Thank you for the informed reply. I'll give that a try and report back. Where can I find the alternative firmware you speak of. I'm very grateful for your help, I have average tech skills and I'm learning alot just reading. I'm all googled out! I'm glad I found this forum. Your's is the first sugestion that makes sense and it's something simple I can understand and do myself. Got my fingers crossed...I'm extremely motivated to solve this issue. :)

There are several alternative firmwares for the R7000 like Advanced Tomato, DD-WRT and XWRT-Vortex. I'm using XWRT-Vortex which I find it's the best. It's based on AsusWRT and can be flashed the same way you flash NG firmware. Be aware that reverting is less easy, but once installed you probably won't go back. Just Google on XWRT-Vortex for reviews and download link, latest version is 380.69.
XWRT-Vortex and Shibby Tomato have a option to schedule turning on/off wifi?
Because they not have a full documentation.
