X10 R9000 Firmware 1.0.4.12 DO NOT UPGRADE(WILL BREAK 5GHZ)
Updated my firmware from 1.0.4.2 to the latest 1.0.4.12 as usual did the factory reset and restored backup config. Immediately my 5Ghz connected devices began pausing and having momentary disconnect...

1.0.4.18? R8000 has that firmware but I've not seen nor heard of it for the R9000.
Do as advised by Altsai - customer support is able to provide you with 1.0.4.18.
Alternate, request access to the R9000 early adopters community with ChristineT or Christian_R
Plus in my case it also broke the user interface for the basic router dashboard (www.routerlogin.net). It keeps telling me "Please wait a moment". The progress circle rotates (but then freezes sooner or later). Somehow it seemingly gets confused with authorization, as when there is any reation at all, it asks me again for my credentials. The advanced mode works.
Hier had ik het netjes ingesteld op kanaal 11 maar met de laatste software springt hij terug naar kanaal 1, zet ik hem op kanaal13 dan springt hij nog terug naar kanaal 1.
Op de Nederlandse site zeggen ze gewoon "even afwachten", dat is de gebruikers niet serieus nemen maar zo komt netgear nu wel over.
Dit gewoon in het Nederlands omdat er wel Netgear site is maar de community is weer Engels.

Hi WB,
.12 did run 2.4 GHz on the configured Channel 3 (3+7 to be exact), and so does a slightly newer firmware version I'm driving for tests.
For the other part, well, processes and changes seem to very slow - still awaiting the promised R9000 new "test" program.

- I too am having this issue. Any time I try to hit Apply to save changes it says "please wait a moment" and has the spinning icon but nothing ever leads. Have factory reset the router and still happens. If I wait long enough and click to a different category and come back it seems to save my changes (most of the time). This FW release sucks. It broke the speed test as well. Also been having issues with my devices dropping internet connectivity daily. Devices remain connected to the SSID but internet is not available and I have to power cycle my x10 router to fix it.
I've given up on two X10 AD7200 and now my X8 that was working. Multiple drops per day. Swapped for an old router my cable company left and 100% up now for days. Reading through the posts, there are dozens of this same issue across Netgear routers.
which FW version did you use?
I heard v1.0.4.18 is more stable, so I suggest you to contact NTGR support team to download this version.
