Thank you very much all for your help and especialy Case850
you don't want your dhcp to be the same as your gateway
there supposed to be diffrent

192.168.1.1 default for internal networks
your issues are more then likely due to bad frimware that netgear has been pumping out and hopefully fixed soon
even if your router for some weird reason was calling the same ip or trying to be the same ip it would be the fault of bad firmware
