I am getting pretty big into gaming and my R7000 was not supporting my xbox and everything so I decided to get the tomato firmwre (first time doing all of this). After messing with it for awhile, I really enjoyed parts of it but was getting really bad lag spikes and couldn't figure it out so I decided to go back to the original genie firmware. Upon doing so my router now will not connect me to the internet, I can connect to the router wirelessly, and through an ethernet cord, but can't even connect to router login to login to my router settings. Please somebody help me, I don't have any idea what to do. I've power cycled it 3-4 times and nothing has worked.
As long as you can get back into the original Netgear firmware, just contact Netgear but don't mention that you have previously installed a different firmware.
If you have lag then I'm betting it has something to do with your internet connection from your modem back. Make sure you are using quality ethernet cables. I'm assuming you are using a wired connection. Also disable your wireless if not being used.
There are guides on how to revert back to the original firmware, and I'm assuming you used one of those?
Hey i had the same problem , try the 30-30-30 reset !! hold the rest button in forthis whole reset or it will not work !! first 30 sec while powered on then just unplug for 30 sec then plug back in and wait 30 more sec , then let router do its thing , should bring you back to default settings to get your gene back.. hope it helps..
Look on youtube for this guy Richard Lloyd 30-30-30 Reset (Hard-Reset ) DD-WRT rOUTER nETGEAR !!
The 30-30-30 reset is not recommended for the R7000 and could brick the router.

it worked for my Netgear R7000 , it works on all routers !!
Yea, until it doesn't. It has a ARM processor that makes it very diffecult for it to navagate the process.
Again, it is NOT recommended, and is possibly bricking your router worth it.
