Best firmware for R7000P?

    Currently stuck using v1.3.0.20.

    A real shame that this Netgear product has been a waste of hundreds of dollars :(

I've tried to switch back to v1.3.0.20 on my R7000P, but the extenders dont work for some reason - they just extend the -2G and -5G, but no internet connection...So, I updated the router with the latest firmware (from Netgear downloads site), and everything works good for now.

I'll update my review after a couple weeks.

    Update: I did not have any drops since updating the FW last weekend - this is a good thing.

    I'll update my review next weekend.

    Thanks.
