I have the exact same problem with ecobee3 lite thermostat and R7000. I just spent the last 5 weeks on an alternate firmware because the .18 and .20 hotfix wasn't helping the problem. I decided to revert back to factory and update to the .26 hotfix and the only thing that won't connect is the ecobee. So nothing changed and I'll have to go back to XWRT-VORTEX which has worked flawlessly since Christmas. Definitely something wonky between ecobee and Netgear

    I'm upgrading to the 1.0.9.26 now to see if this is a fix.  I will post with an update on whether it works or not.  The strange thing is that 1.0.9.6 works flawlessly with the Ecobee and never loses connection.  So, wherever the mismatch is (w/ new firmware), it only happened as a result of one of the firmware changes.  Maybe something with one of the security upgrades?  The other strange factor is that it does connect initially after the upgrade.  However, it will only maintain that conection for a short time.  A router reset will allow for it to reconnect, but again, only for a short time (1-4 hours).
