    Netgear's Horrible Support - support emails pasted

    Tech support from any big company is a waste of time. The just copy and paste the same crap and keep saying "Sorry for the inconvenience" and "please leave feedback" which is ignored which I why I never contact them anymore. I use too but I ended up yelling at them on the phone because they...

    Netgear R7000 stock Firmwrae better or fewer WiFi Range

    Also don't know if Tomato uses beamforming but DD-WRT does but beamforming is a joke just a placebo effect which actually does nothing to improve range. With DD-WRT devices that did not use it had better range.

    Block access to Netflix IPv6 thru HE tunnel

    Ipv6 is still not worth the effort. Of many sites I visit only about 5% I visit use IPv6 many, many still use Ipv4.

    Netgear R7000 stock Firmwrae better or fewer WiFi Range

    Also forgot to say that Shibby Tomato gave me the same range as stock firmware. DD-WRT actually reduced my range which got better then worse after the annoying buggy updates every week or even every few days.

    Netflix Streaming broken if using HE IPv6 Tunnel Broker service

    All greek to me. I do have a older Asus router with Merlin and I have no idea how to even start or anything.

    Block access to Netflix IPv6 thru HE tunnel

    Thanks but I though despite Netflix error message that IPv6 HE tunnel was not a VPN or proxie.

    Block access to Netflix IPv6 thru HE tunnel

    Thanks anyway but I am leaving HE.net IPv6 off. I notice webpages load quicker without it. Because Google and some other services use IPv6 and sometimes it stalls causing other services and websites to stall. The other day Google would take 2 minutes and not even fully load. Went to...

    Block access to Netflix IPv6 thru HE tunnel

    Sorry I did make a post here from a Google search not realizing I was on the Merlin forums. I did make a post on the Netgear forums here when the issue started in the summer and got no responses after searching for a solution and finding coding, puddy Greek like language code to me so I gave up.

    Netgear R7000 stock Firmwrae better or fewer WiFi Range

    I know I should have said Tomato Shibby which still looks better than that butt ugly stock GUI. I hate ugly looking GUI's.

    Block access to Netflix IPv6 thru HE tunnel

    Good luck with that. After Notflix blocked HE.net I turned it off. I gave up the last time. No simple instructions just puddy this code script that which is all greek to me. All I wanted to know is how to reject this in Shibby Tomato but it is impossible.

    Netgear R7000 stock Firmwrae better or fewer WiFi Range

    Advanced Tomato is all I use. I tried the stock but the UI is so ugly and limited. I also tried DD-WRT but with the constant updates always breaking something that use to work fine I settled on Advanced Tomato.

    [R7000] Tomato or DD-WRT?

    Try going into Advanced settings, wireless and change the Transmit Power to 0 which is the hardware default on the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks. When I did that I got stronger signal than Kong DD-WRT gave me.

    [R7000] Tomato or DD-WRT?

    I used stock for months. Then I used Kong DD-WRT for a few months after. It worked okay but I got tired of updating it every week when it broke something that was working fine before. Example is a wireless speed test I would get the full 60 down 5 up speed then after a update it would drop...

    Weak signal from my new Netgear R7000

    XVortex is ugly. Even uglier than the stock Firmware. I did use Kong DD-WRT for a few months but the constant weekly updates that would always break more than it fixed I got tired so now I use the latest version of Advanced Tomato. The GUI is pleasing to use and it gives me as good range as...
