Strange is well, that on the Netgear itself on the overview page it says that there is installed firmware 1.0.1.20???

My WN2000RPT had been dropping the connection to the router every 20-30 minutes the past few days (I've had it for months and it has done this every few days--don't know why the frequency picked up) I downloaded and installed the .26 firmware, ignoring the non-NA firmware warning, and it hasn't dropped the connection yet after 24 hours, so (mostly) all is good.
I've noticed a ~1/3 drop in throughput with the new firmware though. But that's not surprising considering this is in beta. Can't wait for Netgear to tighten up the code and officially release this on their website.
Props to bastialex0825 for the finding the fix.
