    To close out this thread!

     
     
    • I purchased a R7000P Netgear Nighthawk AC2300. It crashed on my LAN as well, and I returned it.
    • I then connected up my old Netgear WNR3500L V2 -- Flashed with Tomato-Shibby -- and it worked fine for the two weeks I had it connected.
    • I have now flashed my R7000 router with Tomato-Shibby "tomato-R7000-ARM--132-AIO-64K".
    • This has stopped the router from crashing. It has been more than 3 weeks without any problems.
    • The fact that the R7000 and R7000P both crashed tells me that  base firmware has an issue.
    • I'll stick with Tomato, but will really have to think hard about what my next router purchase will be!
