couple things I would try. You didn't put if your device is version 1 or 2. Based upon the firmware you listed, I'm going with version 1. You're firmware is still out of date. I'd do a manual update to the .130 firmware. the release notes walk you through a manual update.

After the update, go into your settings Advanced-->Maintaince-->Backup-->Erase Factory reset it using this method AFTER the firmware upgrade. make sure you do the upgrade over a hardwired connection. We get problems on here from doing it over wifi or the genie utility all the time. Doing it over a hadrwired connection gets you the best results. Then redo your installation. You can also use this method to backup the device configuration for future.
