Netgear,

 

I am sorry to say that this also did not work. It had the same problems as most of the other firmwares and configurations. I am done. The number of productive hours lost has now exceeded the value and utility of the product. Bought a Velop last week with no drops, restarts, or issues with Android. It really is too bad that you guys haven't figured the firmware and bugs out yet after the product has been out for so long. Done with Netgear now.
