I've updated to 1.01.24na. What I've noticed is that it still drops out but instead of having to reset the router it seems to auto recover. Problem is that it terminates the connection in the meantime of course. Here is what I did:
Connect to LAN port on WN2000RTP that is connected to my home network via WNR2000 wireless router. I have a laptop on the home network with a shared folder. I tried to copy 24.6 GB of files over to the shared folder. The connection dropped after about 2 GB of data. But I did not have to reset the repeater. However, because of the dropped connection I did have to tell the file transfer to retry, which is just as bad. The connection dropped again after about 300 MB of data. Again it reconnected.
Oh well, got excited that this might finally have been fixed.
