You may find the channel you set your 5Ghz @ is out of your phones range, maybe try lowering it, difficult as you have not posted your settings. _________________ Netgear R7800 PPPoE Main Router

Does it usually when you press apply in any tab (eg in WLAN TAB) then all the processes are restarted and it takes ~30sec until everything is started again

As the others have already said, you certainly still need to configure your WLAN properly. (at least the regulatory domain and the channel)
and not all channels are always supported on the end device side.
The devices have their own tables in the firmware and sometimes not all frequencies are supported (e.g. the FireTV Gen2 does not support DFS channels (only channel 32-48 )) etc.
Sorry if I don't respond quickly..I don't have a lot of free time.
Concerning the wifi, I found it strange because other 5GHz devices do show up. Possibly the settings need to be adjusted. But I don't really use wifi anyway. I was just checking if the thing works. But thank you for all the information and links.

The GUI freezes constantly..when clicking tabs etc. I have to press Esc and then reload the page. Very annoying. Happened with version 40270 and 47074. I'm on Windows 10..I'll try Ubuntu next to see if that makes any difference..when I can find the time.

Also, is there any way to change the MAC addresses of the device (LAN and wireless)?
You can change this in the Setup > Network tab.
It is only questionable why you should do this.
Unfortunately I don't see the information you speak of. I went to Setup > Networking, but not sure what options I should look at. There is Port Setup but that seems to apply to WAN only. I can't seem to find any option to change the LAN, wlan0 and wlan1 MAC addresses. Not easy browsing the GUI when it constantly hangs too..

all MAC addresses are configurable eth0 eth1 wlan1 wlan2 etc.

Finally found a bit more free time for this project..
Ubuntu, Windows 10, Palemoon, Firefox, incognito or not..it all seems to be the same. The GUI freezes sometimes when clicking tabs or save/apply. Waiting 60 seconds also gives nothing.. Not a fluid experience at all. Not sure what is wrong here.
I didn't see the wlan0 and wlan1 option in Port Setup because I had disabled the wifi. After that I was able to change the Wireless MAC (as seen in System Information), but not the LAN MAC or WAN MAC..even though I selected the correct network adapter (eth1, I guess) in WAN Port Assignment.
After that I changed some MAC addresses in MAC Address Clone. Now I cannot connect to the router anymore. I rebooted the router and my computer..hoping they would start communicating again, nothing. I tried connecting with telnet..on first try I got an error message, "no route to host" or something.. On second try, blank screen.
I seem to be stuck.. Hopefully the router is not for the garbage bin.. Anything I can do to continue my quest? Maybe reset the router?
edit: Okay, so I reset the router by pushing the reset button for 30 seconds (as per https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Reset_And_Reboot). At first the power LED just kept blinking and blinking, other than that nothing happened. So I shut down the router and powered it on again. Luckily I can now connect to the router again. Should everyting be okay at this point?
This scared the shit out of me though. I went back to the MAC Address Clone settings and I am still not sure what went wrong. Anyone know what might have happened? And can anyone please advise on how to handle situations like this better in the future? Regarding reset etc.. Thank you.

I'm guessing (did a quick search) that this should be a fix for the GUI freezing problem? It MIGHT have improved the situation, but unfortunately I cannot say that it entirely fixed the issue for me..
So I asked Brainslayer and tested something with him.
You can change the MAC-Addresses for eth0 and eth1 (LAN) in the network tab.
However, there is a small catch - this works for eth0 only if you disable the WAN connection type.
If you use eth0 normally as WAN then the MAC address setting for eth0 does not work in the network tab:
So a normal scenario where eth0 is used as WAN:
eth0 (WAN) ---> the MAC address can be changed in the tab "MAC addresses cloning"
eth1 (LAN) ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
WAN connection type disabled:
eth0 (LAN) ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
eth1 (LAN) ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
For the WLAN MAC addresses Brainslayer has committed a patch in SVN for testing - but he said right away that it is quite problematic.
Well anyway I tested the patch and as it seems everything works (for me)
WLAN0 ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
WLAN0.1 ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
WLAN1 ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
WLAN1.1 ---> the MAC address can be changed in the "Network" tab
wlan1.1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:22:33:44:00
inet addr:192.168.4.1 Bcast:192.168.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

But I don't know if it will stay like this or if it will be reverted because of problems.
I have tested with build v3.0-r47220 on R7800 (which is not publicly available)
Another security warning: be careful with it
Make a note of the original addresses, the changed addresses are not all reverted by a factory reset or "nvram erase".
