      Okay I installed the new firmware update and it failed.  I since went back to the previous firmware according to the community and got back online.  Has a fix been posted yet? I am currently running v1.0.0.66_1.0.126

        I haven't been notified of a fix as of yet. Still waiting on Netgear to consider my active ticket resolved.

  • Maine supposedly took the update but keeps on causing intermitant reset. Anyone else having this issue?

      After about 12 hours of good performance, I started having issues again. I looked at my Modem Router's logs and consistently continue to see a "WLAN access rejected: incorrect security" error. This error is attached to the extender's MAC addresses and shows up once every 5 minutes or so. Once I revert to the previous firmware, I stop seeing this error on my modem Router's log. This may be the reason for a continuous inconsistent internet connection. PLEASE FIX THIS NETGEAR!!!

        I get the intermittent reset, had to roll back to get stable performance.

         

        Hope Netgear even reads these, and will fix soon.
