Darn - it looks like this V2.2.2.2 firmware is still hanging after a while, even after doing a full factory reset and manual re-configuration (not importing a saved settings file).
I did the reset/setup on Saturday - and it worked fine all that day. But then on Sunday evening, it did the same thing again - where most devices just stopped working. Some devices already connected continued working (such as my ROKU on wifi), but many devices, such as my laptop on wifi, stopped being able to connect. They could sort of connect via wifi - but would not have internet access. I suspect it's the DHCP, where the router can't assign an IP address.
Note that I have gone into the LAN setup and configured IP reserverations for basically every device in my house. I had to do that, even with the older firmware, or else I had constant DHCP issues, even with the old firmware.
God... I bought this thing from Costco like over a year ago - but I think I'll return it, and get a different cable modem altogether... and stay clear of netgear in the future.
