Amazing....at this rate I may never update my firmware.  I'm still on 2.074   Did a second reboot in 3 weeks tonight. Total network down.

 

Other than that the system seem stable.  Doing what I need.

Is there a proper way to perform a firmware update?  Some manufacturers recommend a complete reset to factory default then do the update.  What does Netgear recommend?
