Updated to latest firmware and now buggy connections and Teamviewer won't connect
Have been troubleshooting a general connection issue with our cable company and now that's fixed (modem) but flashed to updated FW 1.0.4.74 On the router and now we have very buggy connection and...
There have been a few problems with new firmware on the R8000.
If the idea from plemans fails then you might like to try a firmware rollback.

Love how the free support expires even if it's new firmware smh
This place is free.
Firmware updates can come along years after a device rolls off the production line. Sadly, very few brands support stuff many years after they have relieved you of your money. Try getting Ford to mend your five-year old car.
yeah I moved off dd-wrt back to the latest stock firmware for the R8000 and its absolutely awful. Latency, devices dropping off the network for periods of time, opening a new webpage for the first time gives instant can't connect error, then on refresh it loads. I have a NAS wired in and 720p video is lagging every couple of minutes to deliver over wifi.
I had dd-wrt for years and only moved off that as wanted to have the latest security updates, so if I'm forced to move back on firmware I will scrap the absolutely awful stock firmware
