    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!

Dude, just install 3rd party firmware like the rest of us have. It’s not the hardware, it’s the firmware.

He dude!! Read the history... I am running fine with my new Linksys router. The R7000 is running Tomato for months. I don't care anymore. I'm only following this terrible story. Never Netgear for me again.
