Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have problems with new firmware.
First note down the settings – screen grabs can help here.

Same problem here: 1.0.2.36 breaks the time machine connection (It does not allow afp apple file protocol). The suggestion to switch to Voxel's firmware works. Netgear is sending emails to users urging to update to latest firmware due to security protocol issues -- There should be a note next to the firmware file that says "This will break afp/time machine connections"
