    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...

     

    Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

Do you have a Guest Wireless set up on 2.4GHz?  If so, try disabling it.  That's not a resolution, but it has made many of our devices usable again.

So, update to my earlier post.  Since talking with Netgear Support, my router hung.  Not just 2.4GHz .. but 5GHz too.  That's the first time that happened.

 

I've disabled my Guest Wireless 2.4GHz again.  If the router hangs again, I'll roll back the other changes Netgear made (see my earlier post).

 

They did follow up with me after the call (but before the router hung).  I don't know how dedicated they are to fixing the problem, but right now it looks like they are putting the resources in to investigating.
