Reverting the Firmware's a tempting suggestion.  Any suggestions how would be gratefully receieved.

      gisteren hebben we de firmware vd router en de 2 satellieten allemaal teruggezet naar dezelfde versie als daarvoor. 

      Resultaat: alles werkt weer zoals vroeger, snel en stabiel.

      Hopelijk heeft iemand hier iets aan.

        translation:

         

        yesterday we restored the firmware of the router and the 2 satellites to the same version as before.

        Result: everything works as before, quickly and stably.

        Hopefully someone will benefit from this.

         

         

        Thank you for the update.  Another successful rollback

    Yes, reverting to old firmware seems to be resolved the issue. go to netgear download page, and manually update the firmware.

      Reverting to old firmware may resolve your issue but still exposes you to the same security issues NG decided were severe enough to warrant updating these products in the first place. It's not a good solution.

      Instead, it seems like NG is acknowledging to some people that the issue is in Traffic Meter. So before anyone downgrades firmware, please start by just disabling Traffic Meter with the current firmware. That seems to be doing the trick for me.

        or in my case...never upgraded in the first place....and the security is fine
