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 had exactly the same problems. And I also wasn't able to make it stable again. I bought a new Linksys WRT1900ACS. I needed a stable solution very quickly. My R7000 runs Advanced Tomato now. I use it as extra access point on the first floor. I have no good words for Netgear. It is totally over for me. Never Netgear again. Such a shame they can't fix it. Even using an old firmware is not stable anymore. How is that possible? And no communication about the reason or the status at this moment. What a terrible company.
Guys, be lucky you have a R7000 and not cheap crap, low budget brand. The hardware is somewhat outdated but still does the the job done. Feel sorry for NG but I'm sure they work on it. On the other hand it drove me to XWRT-Vortex for about 8 months ago. Never had any issues after switching, rock solid and nice features. Oh yea, you can turn off the unsecure WPS function as well.
Tomato by Shibby flashed 15 days ago- rock solid, huge wifi range, 0 drops, the same speed on cable and wifi and finally a proper Internet access restriction for different devices to protect kids - don't need anything else....
Finally familly is happy using a nvidia shield (Kodi), ipad, iphones, PCs, Bluesound internet radios and few Xiaomi devices- every of them works flawlessly .....
