Currently stuck using v1.3.0.20.
I've also had to switch some critcal devices to the 2.5GhZ network as I can't risk those devices continually dropped off on the 5GhZ network.
A real shame that this Netgear product has been a waste of hundreds of dollars :(

Nov 07, 2020Agreed. I'm currently running DD-WRT v44406 and it's been 100% stable since I went DD-WRT.

So avoiding Netgear for my next router upgrade.
