Netgear R7000P - The routers with features you had to disable to make it work
Oh Netgear, let me count the ways your 7000P router sucks. I really wanted this to be good router but overall it's left a bad taste meaning my next router most likely won't be anything netgear. ...

That firmware does not show any pop-up ads here.
How are you getting into the R7000P? An app or the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
There have been reports of new versions of the Nighthawk app doing this. Again, I don't see this on the R7000P and the latest Android app.
I also don't see the need to reboot when I make changes. But that may be because I don't do much tweaking in my R7000P.

Im talking about the circle prompt everytime you open the web interface.
But.. this is all probably too late now. My new ASUS router just turned up, I can give this r7000P to someone else who will put up with how crappy this router is.

Got it.
New firmware went out three days ago.

142 was always a hotfix. It has turned into a dead parrot. Maybe they mended stuff.

I doubt this new frimware will have any feature improvements. It's more likely just to patch security holes in the older version of UNIX they use to run these routers.
