Hi - I had the same issues with the repeater frequently getting stuck showing the amber light and stopping access to the Internet. I was able to prevent this from happening by switching the device off and on at once a day.
A few days ago, as I logged into the web admin tool of the repeater it offered me to download the 1.0.1.24 firmware update. Before accepting I thought I'd check the Netgear support site for my WN2000RPTv1 but there was no mention of this new firmware. I installed it anyway and since then I noticed 2 things:
1. It doesn't get stuck any more
2. It does still drop the connection every so often, sometimes showing the amber light, but it does recover and reconnect
So it's a vast improvement, albeit not perfect yet and I haven't had to switch the device off for 4 days now.
Cheers
