Does the new firmware resolve the intermittent dropout issue?
My R7000 drops all attached devices once every three weeks or so. Only a reboot resumes connectivity. Sometimes it takes more than 1 reboot. Been using it 1 year on the "67" firmware.

Curious, are you using 2.4ghz, or 5ghz? If 2.4ghz, have you selected a channel, for 2.4ghz?
i enable both the 2.4 and 5 radios. a few older devices connect to the former but most of my other devices are on the 5 radio. i use ch 11 for 2.4 and 149+ for the 5. also, both radios are set to a max speed limit of 600mb/s.
i see in this thread that some users have reverted to an even older firmware version and are happy with it?
a forum member suggested lowering it from 1300 to 600 as a tryout to increase stability. anyway, whether on 600 or 1300, the connection-loss issue persists.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but I updated to that new firmware and now my internet connection is dropping every 12 hours or so (even computers plugged directly into it go into "Local network only, unknown network, no internet access"). Have to reboot it to fix it. Since I am not always home and try to remote in to do things, this is rather inconvenient-- can't reboot it when I'm not there! When it's in that state, I can ping it, but cannot navigate to it (so I cannot use the Router Login to its IP address or \\ to its attached USB devices). It's kind of like the whole thing just freezes up and only allows for pinging.
I had tried the factory reset a few times prior to posting. However, I have found that the issue appears to be when I have 2 USB hard drives plugged into it with this version of the firmware (one in the back, one in the front). When I have just the one in the back plugged in, it doesn't seem to be having the same issues. I've been too afraid to plug the one in the front back in (which is why I haven't refreshed / seen your post, I've kept the issue at bay by just not using it the way I used to). Sorry for the delay, but hopefully that information helps a little bit!
