Your favorite R7500v2 Firmware Version

Hi, I've been very frustrated with the last 3 updates for my R7500v2 Router. They drastically changed my ping speed and my network speed altogether. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am currently using version  1.0.3.24 because it is the best one I can find. Has anyone found a better solution? 

 

Thank you

 

Rick

    Tried a factory reset after each firmware upgrade?

        That's good news. And yet some people still refuse to try it.

         

        Netgear should make this ppssibility clearer in the release notes.
