R7000 ethernet devices missing
Not sure when this started happening but when I go into the web GUI of the R7000 and attached devices all my wireless clients are displayed. But, my ethernet devices are not - the router status light...

I don't thing the .134 (latest) version changed attached devices but you can try upgrading to it.

if it doesn't help, you can try factory resetting.

I tried going to .134 but it was very bad.
So I am back to .130 but suddenly my ethernet devices aren't staying connected.
They seem to be connected but when in sleep the devices leave the network instead of staying connected.

Did you do a factory reset after the changes? the R7000 has responded pretty favorably to resetting after changing firmware. I'd advise during the reinstall to not use a backup configuration

Yes, I actually ended up doing 2 factory reboots and its still the same. So cant see the point in another.

sorry, didn't know if you did or not.
the version thats been the most stable is pretty old. The one we always used to recommend was 1.0.9.42
The .126 version was also fairly stable for those devices it worked well on.
It seems like there's a small percentage of the r7000's that struggle with firmware
