If you want to put a bandaid on the problem, in Windows, click on the little wifi icon at bottom right, select Network & Internet settings, click on the adapter you are using (likely Wi-Fi), click on change adapter options, right click on Wi-Fi adapter and choose properties, double click Internet Protocol Version 4, change DNS to use the following DNS server and enter 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. This will fix the issue until NG releases an update. To reverse this change do the same, but select Obtain DNS server address automatically.
*Rolling back firmware is a security risk so please don't advise that and mark the thread solved. That is not an acceptable solution! This is not solved until NetGear releases a firmware upgraded that addresses the issue!

Michael, i have no choice to wait until a new firmware version is released. I live in a pretty large house and my ISP's routers wireless signal strength and processing power is crap. Also i'm not going to use custom firmware from advanced tomato either as i'm skeptical about the security of it's firmware.
I might try and reflash the router with the lastest version this weekend to see if it resolves my issues.

Would be more helpful too to know what exact router model your having problems with. Something to start a new thread and give more details.
Good Luck though.
