Try a reset and flash the firmware again. There is a beta out right now.

Yes, I am using it and it works fine.

U had same issue as well?

[Wolf_666]

I did not ever have any problem with my R7000, both with stock firmare and DD-WRT. Now I only use stock FW because it is more reliable on Wi-Fi performance and because I use my R7000 as an AP only.
