You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

I just wanted to give you my view on your question.
I'm running .20 now as my router crapped out after the .14 upgrade. My 2.4ghz doesn't fail to connect, but it fails to get internet sometimes and , whilst that is resolved on .20, the speeds from certain Android-based devices on 2,.4ghz are atrocious....just really bad.
I've been running .20 since release and touch wood, ignoring 2.4ghz, the router is largely stable. However as I started typing this, (oh the irony) the router rebooted. Nothing in logs, no real reason, it just rebooted.
Other than that though it's honestly not too bad, but I'd prefr a proper fix to get more than 20Mbit on Android devices.
I've always had issues with NEtGear devices, however I have a marketing contact there and they are suggesting this is rather widespread , including other models.

As version 1.0.9.20 didn't solved 2.4GHz drop, I decide to follow this procedure:
Reset R7000
Install 1.0.0.96 (original firmware)
Reset
Install V1.0.9.6_1.2.19
Reset
Setup my router
I will report about 2.4GHz stability.
I hope that Netgear will provide new working firmware ASAP. Otherwise I will return back my router and ask for pay back.
