Hi All,
The firmware 1.0.1.26 (V1.0.1.20-wifi-12-06) didn't help me.
The link still drops between my Router and WN2000RPT.

I can show you my setup:


ADSL2+ modem
 |
 |-CAT5-> Netgear WNR3500L| -WLAN-> WN2000RPT -CAT5-> PC
                          | -WLAN-> PC #1
                          | -WLAN-> PC #2
                          | -WLAN-> Radio Reciva
                          | -WLAN-> Smartphone #1 (Android)
                          | -WLAN-> Smartphone #2 (Android)
                          |
                          | -CAT5-> masterPC -----------VMWARE-->| PC VMW1
                          | -CAT5-> XEROX Printer                | PC VMW2 
                          | -CAT5-> Audrino                      | PC VMW3
		          | -CAT5-> Xtreamer


Static IP on:
WNR3500L, Radio, Audrino.

Address reservation on:
WN2000RPT, MasterPC, PC VMW1, Xerox Printer

DHCP from WNR3500L to the other stuff.

The link drops often during nights, then there is only power on:
ADSL modem, WNR3500L, WN2000RPT, Audrino and Smartphones

I have plans to move the Audrino to the WN2000RPT but that's impossible while the link drops.

If I need to exchange hardware, can some one recommend something?
I don´t know if Netgear will help us, but i still hopes.
