I tried 1.0.9.42 and several other Netgear stock firmwares. All same result WIFI 5 GHZ is completely unstable, drops connections, have to reboot the router to get to come back to life. I finally flashed Fresh Tomato as a last resort before replacing the router. Been up and stable for 4 days with no issues. Netgear needs to fix their crappy firmware.

That is EXACTLY the same problem I had with the defective AC1900. Thank you for bringing this up billscott92787 !

The replacement AC1900 has been in place for the for past 5 days without ANY hitches.
