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
I've got the same router, same issue, Firmware updated to v1.0.4.12 and the 2.4ghz channel is fine, but any and all devices connected to the 5ghz channel drop/disconnect, whether its streaming a movie, browsing the net, gaming etc...cannot do anything on the 5ghz channel, it's become pointless. The router essentially became a single band router.
