Hi Chopin70,

Are you using the R7000 for Arlo purposes? If not, you may try using the beta firmware v1.0.5.62.

I use it as a general purpose, no need to Arlo services. However, I upgraded to beta because I need the Android OpenVPN support not present in current stable 1.0.4.30 version

I had tested 1.0.5.48 and 1.0.6.28 in the past and they were very unstable in the long run with a heavy load

Is 1.0.5.40 just an Arlo stripped 1.0.6.40 firmware that will provide same stability?

Thanks again for your support.

Also if you are running R7000 as Access Point 1.0.6.40 is fine.
