FVS318Gv2 Connectivity Issues with Firmware 4.3.3-8

This is becoming extremely frustrating... I have a Netgear FVS318Gv2 which works fine as long as it stays up for the first 10 minutes. It will run flawlessly until a power outage. Then good luck ge...

Who can wait 30-45mins for the network to come up?

but certainly worth confirming.

"How do I know it's locked up?" I'm able to ping it, but the GUI is non responsive and there is no network connectivity. It's been up since August 24th. I'm reluctant to turn if off, just to see if it would come back.

When this issue happened mid-August, I would leave it on all night and it still would be locked up in the morning.

I'm sure there will be a storm soon enough and the power will go out again, then I'll know if the things I did fixed it.

Do pings to the outside also work? Or do they fail as well? Do DNS lookups still work?

  4.3.4-2 is now out for both the FVS-318Gv2 and FVS-318N and I have upgraded both my units to this, but have not time for now to test them. Perhaps someone else can tell if this has fixed the issues
  
  From the release notes:
  "Fixed DoS CVE: Zero-Day # Category: PoC & Denial of Service Exploits."

    I'm still on 4.3.4-1 and don't plan on updating any time soon as this one seems to work for me. Did you test if you are still able to flash the firmware from the GUI on 4.3.4-2?
    
    On another notet 7:30AM on October 29th, my power went out for about 20 seconds... I didn't have to go into work today, so I went back to sleep. Got up around 8:30 and (almost) EVERYTHING CAME BACK UP WITH ZERO INTERVENTION!!!
    
    I have Charter Internet, Phone, TV. The TV worked, the internet worked, but the phone didn't... I have NEVER had to unplug/replug in the phone thing to get it to work (I've had it for years), but I guess I needed to this time?
    
    I hope everyone else gets theirs figured out.
