Good news! We now have a production version of firmware that should resolve the 2.4 GHz issue, v1.0.5.64. You may download this firmware from our R7000 page here: http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000#searchResults
As IrvSp correctly notes, this version of firmware fixes the 2.4 GHz issue and reinstates the new features, such as Kwilt, Smart Connect, and WiFI Transmit Power Control. It does not support Arlo. We hope to have a beta version that supports Arlo in the next two weeks.
We welcome any feedback you provide on this new firmware, and appreciate your patience as we resolved these issues. Thank you all for supporting the R7000 and NETGEAR!

Hi everyone, I apologize again for the delay. I talked to the engineering VP responsible for this software and the hope is that we can have updated beta firmware available mid next week, with a production version to follow. I know this is taking longer than I committed, but I'm doing my best to keep the issue prioritized within the engineering team. Thank you for your patience with us.

Just so there's no confusion...
It's quiet because there is nothing else to be said about the problems right now, not because we lost interest in the update...
