Thanks for the feedback. I checked with NETGEAR Support and found out that you have already an ongoing support ticket. Let the NETGEAR Support Team know about the troubleshooting steps done to isolate the problem. If ever your FVS318Gv2 has been declared faulty, be ready to submit a .doc or .pdf copy of the Proof of Purchase or Sales Invoice of the FVS318Gv2 for warranty verification. If the hardware warranty is still valid, an online replacement will follow.
