So you think it's reasonable to have to rebuild my network setup every time Netgear pushes out firmware that they apparently haven't tested properly?

No instability issues seen on mine and others as well:

I've ALWAYS saved configuration files. After I first began having issues with this current firmware, I applied the configuration saved just prior to upgrade.
No difference.
Sure, rebuilding the connection *IS* a valid troubleshooting step - in 2002. Might as well tell me to reboot my computer, empty my browser cache, and every other "troubleshooting" step from when computing was in its infancy. It SHOULDN'T be necessary.
I agree, however it is necessary sometimes.
