Please, keep me posted.
After trying the latest stock firmware, stick with stock, much snappier and better speeds.
With custom firmware I got speeds of 192mbps, with stock firmware it gets 702mbps.
Please, keep me posted.
Wow, that's good news! I could not wait and bought one at eBay for $125. I should get it next week. I also bought 3 9db antennas to increase the signal quality and range.After trying the latest stock firmware, stick with stock, much snappier and better speeds.

For everyone here using the Netgear R7000, Netgear released a new firmware today with several bug fixes I've been waiting for. Here is a list I copied from the Netgear forum.:
[Enhancement] Supports genie 5G WIFI configuration.
[Bug Fix] Fixes Comcast IPv6 connection issues.
[Bug Fix] Fixes bug in which PPPoE IPv6 failed to obtain WAN IP address issue.
[Bug Fix] Fixes bug in which IPv6 might disconnect after 2-3 days of use.
[Bug Fix] Fixes bug in which traffic meter incorrectly counts the LAN to WLAN traffic.
[Bug Fix] Fixes IPTV freeze problem in some countries.
[Bug Fix] Fixes bug in which web GUI crashes when GUI language is switched to French.
[Bug Fix] Fixes bug in which WPS login might disconnect from previous wireless clients.
I'm hoping this finally solves the IPv6 issues.
Thanks for pointing it out, updated to the latest.
After the latest update I am getting 866.5 mbps, highest yet!
I have and for me I didn't notice any gain so I went back to the original antennas.has anyone tested these?

I guess I'm really behind the times. I read a lot of discussions here on this forum about wifi speeds and now a new term thrown out called "limited". I'm not sure where you see whether you are experiencing limited or not. I went to the following website to get some info on connectivity speeds - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425225,00.asp
It discusses how to measure wireless performance & the difference in bandwidth & throughput. I'm sure this thread is about throughput (connection speed between the Surface and your router).
I assume that you all are looking at a window titled wifi status to see your speed. I see my throughput speed, which is moving up and down on my wifi connection here at work. I never see any term in the status window called "limited" so I wonder if someone could tell me where they see whether there throughput is getting limited. I'm pretty sure we use 54 mb wifi routers here where I work. Frequently the status right after connection is 54 mb & then starts dropping down to about 12 mb average. Is that possibly a Surface wifi problem or just traffic on the wifi network that is slowing it down?
