      Is this another case of firmware update gone bad?

        It is unbelievable (and unacceptable) that Netgear has to publish such a "backdoor" way of fixing their failed firmware updates!  It is their fault for not developing a robust update process.

        They should replace systems under warranty when this happens with released non-beta firmware updates

  • So were you able to get your RBS working with the suggestion? Looks like it...
