Please share your experience.

Ok, let us know how the reset and setup from scratch goes.

I was on .16, having disabled auto-updates due to issues with .210.
Encouraged by some of the comments in this thread, I decided to do a manual update, going first to .212, and then to .44, without obvious issue.
Here's hoping that whatever was causing the periodic disconnects under .210 is fixed!
Well, this is not promising.
Several hours after the upgrade, I tried connecting to the built in VPN server. The router immediately locked up and had to be manually rebooted.
A few minutes ago, the router decided to reboot for no obvious reason.
I'll give it a few more hours. If I get a random reboot again, I'll attempt a reset. If that doesn't resolve it, I'll downgrade back to .16 and look into alternatives again.
Was automagically updated from .32 to .44 (Europe). Of course all IPs changed - bummer! - but otherwise seems to be smooth.
Got 22 devices running- what bugs me is that NG sometimes doesn’t know their names - bad database?
Can be, or a mishandling or not able to get actual host name values from some devices. Some devices may not have host name values from the Mfr so these may show up as unknowns.
