Feedback for R7000 New firmware 1.0.9.18
Hi All,
Please post here for any update/issue related to the latest firmware 1.0.9.18.
You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!
Seconded, and I've been wondering about this myself. There's a small subset of users claiming that .20 works well for them, though in my own experience I upgraded to every stop of 1.0.9.x (From memory, .6, .12, .14 & .18). All of them behaved fine, maybe with a device reboot here and there because a minimal issue (ie, a device that strangely can't get to the internet).
I ended up running 1.0.9.18 for some time as well, maybe a week or two, and it ran decently; up until the moment that it lost it's damn mind. Once the problem triggered, getting ANYTHING to connect reliably to 2.4Ghz was impossible, even after a reboot.
So I'm curious as to how many people running on 1.0.9.20 simply haven't had the issue fully trigger yet...
I am running since christmas night, but had to unplug everything last night to move my office around. I am no longer a good judge of how long it lasts. Im sure unplugging the router basically reset the clock on .20.
