I'll check mine again. I haven't seen this issue. I ran my R7000 for a good week or so and worked well.
I'll check the Advanced tab and debug pages.
You might want to try a re-load of the FW on to the router, after FW is loaded, factory reset and setup from scratch and see.
Possible removal reasons is that it's something that's not used much by users and taking up FW resources that NG deemed not necessary as the visual gas gauge is represented by text values seen on the debug page which is what NG seems to be keeping as standard across multiple product lines. We only see the text values on this page for most NG products.

Wow thanks for the informative info. I just tried newly installed Firefox ESR, didn't work :(.
As for the re-load, I won't be able to do that very soon. Since last time I loaded the FM caused a few hours without internet connection, got quite a lot of complaints from my family.

One of my two R7000s has been on v134 for 3 weeks and it has been working well. Here's a few comments:
1. My GUI sub-menu under the ADVANCED tab is wrong about 50% of the time, as described in the previous posts, but clicking my browser (chrome) refresh several times fixes it for the remainder of the session.2. My 5ghz WiFi is solid. I leave two PCs connected 24/7 over 5ghz with their "connect automatically" unchecked and they never disconnect. I've seen the numerous R7000 user reports of 5ghz problems for years but for some unknown reason, many users, like me, don't have those problems. A mystery. It might be a hardware bug activated by certain FW versions.
3. Question: How do I access the R7000 DEBUG page referred in the previous posts?

I am not using the modem provided by ISP, which is very shoddy and always disconnected on itself. Although I don't think it has anything to do with the modem, the model is HUAWEI HG8010H. Check details here:https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.57382e8dftCzP2&id=586024826476&_u=mhuu5qu788d
Not sure about the packet loss test, but I did ran a ping test from my pc for an hour and the result is in the attatched screenshot. The device @192.168.1.2 is my iphone, I can confirm from the device page that it connected via the 5Ghz band. AFAIK, 5GHz really depends on the distance between the device and the router, is there anything jamming or blocking the signal? Thick walls maybe?
About the GUI, I found something in the console of the browser:
start.htm:1902 Uncaught TypeError: $(...).tabs is not a function at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (start.htm:1902:15) at Function.ready (VM520 jquery.js:38:289) at HTMLDocument.L (VM520 jquery.js:45:151)I went to start.htm:1902:15 and found out this function hadn't been triggered properly:
$(function() { // setup ul.tabs to work as tabs for each div directly under div.panes $("ul.tabs").tabs("> .pane"); var pnpx = 0 if(pnpx == 1){ $("#AdvanceTab").click(); $("#basic-pane").css("display","none"); $("#adv-pane").css("display","block"); pnpx = 0; } });So I tried inputting the following code into the console:
$("#basic-pane").css("display","none"); $("#adv-pane").css("display","block");After that the adv pane loaded successfully, with the basic pane being unable to switch to.
This should give some clues to the devs regarding this glitch.
