What happened to the R7000 firmware 1.0.6.28?
I went to the download site on netgear.com and no longer see the 1.0.6.28 or 1.0.5.XX firmware. What happened to them? Should I be uninstalling and reverting back to an older version?

I don't think Netgear has made any official statement, but I'm guessing that they pulled them due to all of the complaints. If the firmware is working for you, then stick with it. But if you are seeing the kinds of problems that others have reported (flaky Wi-Fi, port forwarding not working), then downgrade to 1.0.4.30. It's likely that Netgear will be releasing a new version soon, so this may all be moot.
