Hello I got a replacement from Amazon and that too has the same issue. Spoke to Netgear suport and they told me this unit is fairly new as it was built Febaury 2018 and they have never heard of this problem.I find it really anoying that a £250 router has missed the quallity control dept and in my case twice.
