I would think that too, but there are a lot of people like me on the forums with the same issue. And I find it odd that I can go to 9.42 and have virtually 0 problems. And I have little to no problems on firmware prior to 9.42. Check out the problems when 9.88 came out. I remember it vividly at the time because it killed my 5Ghz band. Ended up dropping back down to 9.34 for 2 years (until now) and when this firmware did the same thing, I went back down to 9.42.

Exactly the same for me. gave it 24 hours but it's so miserable, so I too dropped back to 9.34
It's been long enough, I don't want to risk security, so I will be buying another brand and recycling this one by ripping it apart and recycling non-electronic stuff, while board and chips, etc, will go into our community hazmat. My old Linksys WRT54G running DDWRT I use out in a barn is better than this junk.

Have this loaded on my R7000 and ran well for the full week I had it online as main host router:
Seeing no issues with 5ghz. Manual channel 1 and 48 or 149. Smart Connect and WMM enabled. QoS disabled. 40Mhz only.
