The FVS336G v1 could do at best 58 Mbps WAN/LAN speed with the FIRST firmware back in January 2008 but since then with each new release of bug fixing firmware it has made the FVS336G v1 and v2 slower and slower and slower.
Netgear IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM but gives all kinds of smoke and mirrors double talk to try and weasel their way out of dealing with the problem. Netgear has been aware of the problem since January of 2012 and two (2!!!) years later has done nothing but will tell you when you call their warranty department that your FVS336G needs to be RMA'd. So even though you know better, you play along and two replacements later you end up with EXACTLY THE SAME RESULTS! Netgear continues to sell these FVS336G v2 with the 60Mbps WAN/LAN spec speed knowing full well that if you use the latest firmware it won't get that speed.
