Feedback for R7000 New firmware 1.0.9.18
Hi All,
Please post here for any update/issue related to the latest firmware 1.0.9.18.
You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!
Just an update from my previous post...
Swapping the R7000 for the R8000 router has fixed all issues I was having. The network has been rock solid (wireless and wired) and my Android smartphones are even getting the full ISP supported speeds now that I didn't see on the R7000 (I was getting 35 down on a 100 Mbps down ISP package; now I get 110 Mbps on a 100 Mbps). Given I am away from home occassionally and most of my securty cameras only work on 2.4 Ghz, I need to have the entire wireless network stable. I really did not like having to spend nearly $300 to fix this problem.

Just FYI: Netgear just dumped a ton of refurbished R8000s in the market. You can get one for 150 from amazon or newegg.
- Thanks so much for the info. 139.00 with prime shipping. Not bad. BUT...it only has a 90 day warranty and someone commented that they got a dead one. This is a buyer beware kind of thing. I love the price, but things break...as we all know.
Hard to say exactly. Around 48 hours. Nothing valuable in the stats or logs. No errors, no failed connection attempts, no packet loss on the link. The lease did renew at 4am last night. It looks like all the 2.4G devices (and only 2.4G devices) didn't reconnect. Some are DHCP and some are reserved. A simple reboot solved the problem.
