Finally got passed onto Level 2 support, they read my original ticket and instantly identified that my model is not the Australian retail version which should be PWL1000-100AUS. Mine is PWL1000-1TLAUS.. sold by our biggest ISP.. who likes to modify and cut down firmware to restrict what you can access. Unfortunately updates for this model will only be through them.. and as they dont even list it amongst devices that they sell on the website, it also currently has no support.
Yeah, wasnt meaning to imply that you work for Netgear, more that Im a bit disgruntled with them, and not effectively managing my rage towards them without letting it effect my posts here.
