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 can say Netgear is working on problem and they have gotten the hardware component vendors involved also. I spent several hours yesterday testing scenerios, loading FW, sending logs, etc. We seem to be making progress. I am sure I am not the only one working with their engineers.
Again they are working on it and progress is being made. Hopefully fix is getting close.
I got an email from Jack Chen if i am willing to run their debug firmware but unfortunately i have no time for testing.
I hope someone with more time can test it in order to help the Netgear engineers to solve this problem.
I will follow this thread for further updates.
Cheers.
I just upgraded to the "wrt-vortex" firmware, Now if i was to revert to NG Firmware how would i go about doing so in the future?

It's usually as simple as uploading the stock firmware like you're upgrading the 3rd party firmware. But in the event it isn't you can try what was outlined here:

Well, not that easy. In XWRT-Vortex you can only flash .trx firmware files. As NG uses .chk files it will not work for XWRT-Vortex. In the forum (lots of interesting information) http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/asuswrt-merlin-on-netgear-r7000.71108/ you can find on page 1 the download link for old NG firmware version 1.0.3.80 in .trx format, you can use this file to flash from XWRT-Vortex to NG stock.
Got the same message from Chen. I too declined. I already dumped the router for something else. I told him I couldn't wait any longer for Netgear to admit a problem. I have a business to run. Hopefully they get an answer in the next few months. If they are still asking for help, things can't be going too smooth. Good luck to all.
