R7000 Firmware Bug 1.0.6.28

So far, so good. I just flashed my R7000 and it even kept my modified IP settings, so I don't have to modify those parameters. It appears to "see" the connected devices, and my Samsung printer works on the IP that was assigned. If I notice any glitches, I'll post again. Also, will Arlo be in the final version and off by default?
Thank you.

I upgraded from 1.0.4.30 to 1.0.6.28_1.1.83 back in late January. Since that time, I've tried all the settings but my 2.4 main network can't be used by any device. The 2.4Ghz guest network is fine as are both 5Ghz networks.
Finally I got sick of it and downgraded back to 1.0.4.30 and all is well again.
Netgear, this is really disappointing. You are usually much better than this. It's not like it's particularly easy to post here yet there are 5 pages of people with this problem. I wonder how many separate customers with issues each post here represents? I won't be upgrading again anytime soon, that's for sure.

nhoover We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Our engineers are aware and the fix is on the works. The firmware will be released soon.

Will the release automatically invoke the Arlo function, or will there be an option to leave it off without having to drill down to find it? This should be a user choice option for those of us who do not have any Arlo devices.

There will be an option to disable the Arlo function for users who does not have Arlo devices.
