Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 Netgear router WNDR3400v3 Router firmware version: V1.0.1.42_1.0.68 Router GUI version: V1.0.1.24_2.1.28.1 When I logged in to the GUI to update the firmware, I no...

I logged onto the Netgear GUI and went to [Advanced > Setup Wizard]. I seletected the Yes radio button and then the Next button.

I'd be interested to know if you have this continuing to happen; it's a regular occurrence for me. I'm also having intermittent internet functionality from my wireless devices while wired seems to be more stable.
The problem has not repeated since my prior post in this thread. Even while having the problem, my connection remained quite good. Only the indicator in the Netgear GUI was bad. That is why this thread has "False" in the topic.
Note: I have disabled wireless for my router. My and my wife's PCs are connected via ethernet cables. For a week, I enabled wireless while our daughter was visiting and staying in our home. She had no problems.
