I have had this issue with older firmware builds too.
Have just received a mail from the forum with a lot of empty placeholders

I'm afraid that this placeholders is not coming from the firewall itself. Have you tried connecting it to another router just to isolate?

lol, no the empty placeholders are in the mail I received from this netgear community forum.
I have replaced the router before with a 336 prosafe I believe. Connection dropped too. I thought it could be the combination of the modem with the prosafe product line. But we moved from fiber optic to cable internet and that did not solve it too.

simstars,
Have you tried to check that same email on other network and check if will show the same thing? May I know who is your ISP?

it's not about the email which I received from this netgear community forum with the empty placeholders.
it's about the logs from the fvs318n router/firewall/vpn which has red errors and red emergencys listed.
I have contacted Netgear about it and they say: the product is out of support since september https://www.netgear.com/support/product/fvs318n.aspx
so there is no support for the errors etc. even though I have had them for ages. Even before I switched ISP's
I moved from fiber optic to cable dsl and had (the same) issues with both.
Seems disabling the by default enabled udp/tcp flood fixes the connection drops.
