I installed the latest firmware update V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 and enabled standard parental controls and so far so good internet is working fine
The update did fail to install a few times over wifi but I got it to sucessfully install after I turned off my nighthawk wifi extender EX7300
I updated from V1.0.4.18_10.1.49 to V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 and noticed I had to enable the smart connect feature again after the update got installed
Other issues are reported on this thread that I didn't experience
I opened this discussion for internet access issues with V1.0.4.18_10.1.49 and after I installed the latest firmware V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 my internet access issues (with standard parental contols enabled) seem to be fixed.

I've recently received a new unit after my previous units WAN port went out. The new unit is 2 weeks old and recently started having intermittent internet issues. I thought it was the firmware too. I've gone back to 1.0.3ish and still have problems. I have no parental controls, only default settings and a few address reservations. I've tried numerous factory resets with multiple FWs and have not found one that keeps me connected. Haven't done a FW update before it started wonking out either. I've been baffled by this and seems a lot of others are too.

Cverneuil, this thread is for an R8000. If that is not what you have (you listed R9000 as the router) then I suggest you open a NEW TOPIC as people might not see your post as this topic is now even marked SOLVED.
If you DO have an R8000, get the new firmware released a day or so ago. It might help. Go to SUPPORT, put in R8000, and then DOWNLOADS and you'll see it.
