Given the latest R7000 1.0.9.18 and 1.0.9.20beta firmware are giving many trouble, what older versions have been stable for everyone?
I have been using 1.0.5.70 for "a long time" 🙂 without noticable issues (QoS enabled,WMM enabled on both 2.4 and 5 networks, Enabled "Use Router as DHCP Server", SmartConnect turned off, 2.4GHz and 5GHz on separate SSID, Guest network disabled, parental controls disabled, Traffic Meter enabled, IPv6 disabled, UPnP enabled).
Gleaned from a handful of forum posts, these seem like the more stable versions so far:
R7000-V1.0.3.24_1.1_20
R7000-V1.0.5.70_1.1.91
R7000-V1.0.7.6_1.1.99
R7000-V1.0.9.6_1.2.19
I can only speak for version 1.0.5.70, sure it has security exploits, but it is stable for my family.
Looking ahead at versions 1.0.7.6 and 1.0.9.6, what issues should I be aware of if I attempt an upgrade to those versions (other than known security issue fixes)?
I have been using 1.0.7.10 "without noticable issues" 😉 (QoS disabled, WMM enabled, enabled "Use Router as DHCP Server", SmartConnect turned off, 2.4GHz and 5GHz on separate SSID, Guest network on 2.4, Traffic Meter disabled, parental controls disabled, IPv6 disabled, UPnP enabled).
I upgraded to 1.0.9.14_1.2.25 and the 2.4 GHz disconnections started 😞
Then I downgraded back to 1.0.7.10_1.2.3, but the 2.4 GHz disconnections were NOT solved!
Then I made a hard reset and restored my saved settings (from 1.0.7.10_1.2.3) - NO noticable issues so far for 10 days with 24/7 usage! 🙂

The duplicate occurred when the forum displayed an error message that I had not added any labels to this post, and kept me on the compose/post page. So, I added two labels, and pressed post again, only to see it has created two message threads. Sorry, but this is the forum software's fault.
