Taking a poll of the most stable firmware. I had trouble with 5Ghz for the past week or so with V1.0.4.28. I downgraded to 26.
When I upgraded to 28 I did a factory reset and reapplied my config through the UI.
If people have tricks up their sleeves on getting 28 to be stable, would love to hear that as well.
Solved! Go to Solution.

After a few weeks V1.0.4.26 has remained stable. Key is to factory reset after updating the firmware to V1.0.4.26, turn off MU-MIMO and Beamforming as has been recommended in other threads.

Beyond of a few reports of DHCP issues on alrger installations it's very silent around the R9000/R8900. 5 GHz is rock solid for us for the time we use it.

Build 26 seems much more stable with 5Ghz.

Voxel firmware! Built on Netgear, but improved speed, functionality and security.

Voxel publish his source code on Github:
https://github.com/SVoxel
(The R8900 is the same as the R9000 except the QoS handling//some "wireless speed model"; For R8900, 2.4G only support 64QAM).
See this thread for more info:

You can also post your questions there or send a private message to Voxel himself:

Re: most stable firmware for R8900?
Went to my HP AIO and found I was able to connect to 5Ghz but no internet connection, then connected 2.4Ghz and from the HP it worked fine. Browsed the log. Reconnected from HP to 5Ghz and the Internet works on 5Ghz now for the HP.
Going to test from iPhone next (which is where I am making this post).
