- Warranty claim has now been requested. Claim is open.

This is horrible and scary knowing all my expensive and all newer in past 2 years Apple devices are all vulnerable using this router. I'm done.
Thanks for all the help anyways, you are the only one that has made any effort at this point to listen, respond in actually trying to help me. I appreciate you and your time - Cyber high-five!
I've not encountered anyone else with these types of issues, you would need to get in touch with Netgear directly about the warranty, it's not something I can specifically advise on. Given it's persisting through factory resets it's possible there is an issue in the boot process, in which case you could try re-upgrading using the TFTP method which bypasses the boot process and any issues there, then once done perform a factory reset for the freshest install possible. If it's still happening after that then I suspect it is faulty and would suggest you do pursue the warranty route.

- Sorry to hear that but hopefully you'll get it all sorted through the warranty. You're very welcome!
