I was having disconnects for 4 weeks at least twice a day, Thought it was the nighthawk r7000 but it turned out to be my Netgear DG834GT modem that probably could not handle the speed tried all sorts r7000 kong ddrwt put it in modem only mode still disconnected.

Hooked up a very old thomson speedtouch 546v6 I had lying around all sorted not 1 freeze or disconnect in last 4 days :) love the r7000 blazing fast.

    I'm using V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 and experiencing random internet disconnects a few times a day. This problem started a couple weeks ago. 1.0.5.62 sounds like a downgrade from 1.0.6. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of these version strings? Would you recommend I try switching to this beta 1.0.5.62 if my current firmware seems higher than that?
