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!
I too have upgraded my R7000 to the following firmware: V1.0.9.18_1.2.27
My household is experiencing endless and very FRUSTRATING wifi dropouts after this update, where I need to either reboot the router {power off} OR by hitting the [Wireless Setup] page and select the 'Apply' button for existing configurations that are already set.
I have 2.4 & 5Ghz SSID wifi channels Enabled. Each have a different passwords assigned. Smart Connect is Disabled.
I have the Guest wifi networks enabled for each 2.4 & 5Ghz enabled, same password.
I have utilised the above configuration for several years.
It is my current opinion with information known at this stage, the latest firmware update is plagued with a bug that is resulting in the wifi behaving poorly and inconsistently.
Netgear, what level of testing is run before publishing a new firmware release? it appears that I'm not the only person to experience these disappointing outcomes.
Thank you
Tony
I've disabled my Guest network and it seems to have helped.
Unfortunately, many of us have been here. It doesn't usually work. When you turn off the guest network it basically resets router as if you rebooted. I hope it works for you.
- None of these helped me:
- Updating QOS database
- Making sure QOS was off
- Turning access control on or off
- Turning off guest Network
- Applying 1.0.9.20
