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!
For what it's worth, read this.
Q: Does Asus know about this project?
A: Yes. We frequently exchange emails, and they have also integrated some of the features and bug fixes from this firmware project into the stock firmware. So far they have been quite supportive of this project, for which I am very grateful.

That is not exactly true when it comes to Asuswrt-merlin hack firmware running on non-ASUS routers. I think eventually ASUS will shut these down.
Might want to look https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/DD-WRT-and-other-third-party-firmware/m-p/443988#M4293, message 24... 3rd parties might not have the rights to distribute all code, so either the function would/could be missing, or the entire binary could be considered illegal possibly. Maybe 'someone' is turning a 'blind eye' on it but at some point it might be necessary to remove the firmware (if that is even possible to determine who has it?)?
They don't need to remove 3rd FW. All they need to do is make future firmware releases not functioning in non-ASUS router. Should not be that hard to check the hardware before starting up. As far as I know, some of ASUS firmware modules are not open source.
--- double post---
Why are we having this discussion.
If Netgear would fix there firmware , this would academic.
Get after Netgear.
For now all is working with 3rd party firmware could not wait any longer.
people 14 of them i support were starting to complain.
When and if NetGear get there head out of the ground.
then would entertain going back to there firwware.
Just a thought
