NETGEAR R7800 FIRMWARE v1.0.2.82

I am having the same issues as paillassou. I use my R7800 in AP mode and any firmware I've tried beyond .68 causes the device to lose wifi and/or reboot randomly.
I can't speak to using it in router mode as I do not use it as a router anymore.
Can you imagine I have two of these and both are in AP mode. I know NETGEAR reads these forums so please be aware that we are all talking here but we will speak with our wallet when it comes to deciding the next router upgrade. I am also the resident expert for a large group of friends. Guess where their business is going - not to NETGEAR.
- Any other. LOL.
So when I was first researching I had found a Linksys router that was as good as R7800. I would recommend Linksys. Slightly cheaper option is TP Link. I like them as their products have been good and they have good pricing and support in India. NETGEAR generally has been great except for this issue.
My next upgrade would be to WiFi 6 but I see no reason at the moment. I have a 500Mbps connection up and down and these routers are amazing when they work.So just "upgraded" to v1.0.2.82 for the security fixes only to find out I lose access to readySHARE vault and a few other netgear features. Plus the touted https support doesn't have a valid certificate. Well Netgear so long and thanks for all the fish. Time to install and learn DD-WRT.
