FVS318N firmware 4.3.3-6 not allowing more than 8 wireless connections
Back in 2015 users reported that no more than 8 devices could connect on FVS318N. You can find the old discussion here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Business-Wireless/FVS318N-firmware-4-3-3-5-not-...
At the end pressing the reset button for so much time factory reset everything and even the firmware upgarde worked after that.
Instead of doing all the configurations all again I gave it a go and restore my configurations and I now have 11 devices connected which seems the problem is now resolved.
Hi blackbox,
Welcome to the community! :)
The issue about no more than 8 devices could connect on the FVS318N using firmware v4.3.3-5 way back year 2015 was already fixed by upgrading the firmware to a later version. With regard to your concern, I advise you to upgrade the firmware of your FVS318N to the latest firmware version 4.3.5-3. You can download firmware v4.3.5-3 here.
Be reminded to perform a factory reset on the FVS318N after upgrading the firmware then reconfigure it from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version.

I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to upgrade the firmware of your FVS318N to the latest firmware v4.3.5-3 then performed a factory reset and reconfigured it from scratch? If yes, what is the result?

NETGEAR Community TeamI tried today to upgrade the firmware without factory resetting the firewall but unfortunately there is a problem with that functionality.
I tried with both Firefox and Chrome to upgrade the firmware. I power cycle the unit as instructed and when I go to Administration -> Settings Backup & Upgrade -> Router Upgrade I select the IMG file I click upgrade I see the status bar at the top but immediately after that the browser refresh the page with the message "Connection was Reset" same thing happen on both Firefox and Chrome...
