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!
Currently running V1.0.9.18_1.2.27. Having same problem with 2.4G. Devices can't connect to the 2.4G. Connecting to the 5G is fine.
After a reboot connecting to the 2.4G is working fine, after some time the connection is gone and reconnecting doesn't work anymore...until another reboot.
Pretty anoying.
All worked fine with older firmware version.
In case someone missed this post (sounds promising):
So the previous post could be a winner, or as mentioned in another post:
Switch off 5Ghz and QoS and 2.4Ghz is stable again.
(I won't bet you a case of beer on these solutions, but what the heck, give it a try).
Even better: do the actions in the previous post, switch off 5Ghz and QoS, pray to the god of your liking, switch on all the lights in you house, disconnect the dishwasher......and then see what happens.
I did this and it didn't work. I then also turned off the guest network and now running for 2 days with no problem.. Again, not a fix but at least I am stable until it is resolved. (?? Considering getting one of R8000 refurbs since I too only get about 45 mbs on my wifi will getting 420 on my wired! ??)
