Any update on this? I just upgraded to V1.0.3.34_2.0.58 on my MK73S system, and have lost access to my DLNA servers from my media players.

Sadly no response from Netgear on this issue. It seems they have abandoned us MK73 users with the last firmware update almost a year ago. Quite dissapointing a basic network device discovery protocol has been broken for so long.

Thank you for the update. I have a week to decide if I am going to keep my MK73S or return it. This, along with a few other issues, is leading towards returning it.
I like the fact that I have the option to configure it via a web interface, I do not want to be forced to use an app... but not responding to "basic" issues like this one does not bode well for the future.

Honestly if you're in the return window just send it back and try something else. I'm having all kinds of other issues with this router where it just drops out for no reason and I have to restart all 3 access points.
