    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 have been running a pre-release of this with no issues for several days

Latest update for R7000 as of 8:00AM (Pacific Time), January 25, 2018

 

Here’s the latest update on the R7000.  We have released a hot fix that you can obtain by going to our knowledgebase article title “R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.9.26” which contains a link to download the firmware.  This hot fix should help with the Wi-Fi disconnects.  We also still recommend you also update you Android and Chromecast built in devices with the latest updates from Google.  The feedback provided by community users who have helped test, as well as, the testing in our labs have been invaluable in creating this hot fix.  However, even though this hot fix should alleviate the disconnects, we still want to hear from users of any further issues after the installation of the hot fix.  As always, we very much appreciate  our users and the continued conversation in the community.  I see others have already posted the link to the KB but wanted to get this post out as well.

 

Thanks, Dave

      Can anyone tell me why after flashing to the Firmware version 1.0.7.12 the GUI version would still be 1.0.9.18? I did a reset after the flash

        I have seen that briefly in the past when flashing and it seems to be a browser cache issue at least for me.  I can refresh the browser or at times go between basic/advanced, or other screens and it eventually shows the correct version.
