Thats a damn shame considering it was working before the firmware update. Really dissapointed in Netgear for breaking functionality like this.

Haven't done a factory reset but I have done a hard reboot (unplug from power, wait, plug back in). I would revent back to old firmware if I knew how to but even if I did I would rather not becasue I am sure I would be missing out on some security patches for the router itself.
