R8000 FW 1.0.3.4

It looks like Netgear have in fact abondoned the R8000, while they still seem to support the R7000! Disgusted, I guess the next move is Asus.
The IP6 issue is a joke!
I am surprised there is no firmware update for more than half year. dd-wrt copy/write speed is not as good as netgear firmware, but I have 4T/5T hard drive connnected to R8000, I lost wifi a few minutes after I reboot the router. It is really easy to reproduce the bug...
Well, I've had enough. Months and no visible effort to fix this. The broken firmware is still linked even though it has a very obvious, repeatable bug.
Last Netgear product for me I guess. This was a current flagship product when I first reported it.
I'll never understand why there is such a consumer expectation double standard when it comes to software.
Would you tolerate buying a car and the stereo doesnt work? How about the lights?
I'm an engineer and write my own tools at work in several languages so I do have a little insight.
oh forgot to mention, there is also a bug in changing the 5 ghz channels. I went open source months ago though and will leave it that way until my next router purchase.
