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!
Hi all,
reading all this stuff, i did following test: diabling all nice WIFI features like beamforce, auto channel, air time fainess, and did a manual straight forward setting yesterday evening. Till now i have a stable connection on 2.4 GHZ ...... lets see how long this last. However, I hope on an SW update very soon to get the nice things back.

I'm having the same 2.4g/5g problems others are. 5g seems to work fine with most devices but nothing can obtain an IP address on the 2.4g band. This has been happening for some time now and none of the firmware updates seems to fix the issue. I'm running V1.0.9.18_1.2.27 right now.
We shouldn't have to run 3rd party software for the router to do what it's intended to. I know I'll never be purchasing a Netgear router again after this disaster.

I'm quite happy with my R7000, the hardware is fine although somewhat outdated now, but it still does the job well. The firmware however is buggy and luckily there are plenty of alternatives.
