    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!

Continue to lose 2.4. Only a reboot fixes it. 5G works fine. Wish I wouldn't have gotten rid of my Asus router. This one is a POS.

Just rolled back to 1.0.9.12 1.2.23, which was the version I was on before this debacle started. Everything was stable then, so I'll see what happens now. Enabled 5ghz and my guest channel as before.

    Well that didn't work. I can't be bothered with this anymore, taken the router out and running the Virgin Superhub again for now. I'll look into returning the router as it's less than a year old.

      Please let us know if Netgear compensates you in some way.

        I think it's going to be a fight as they say they only offer a 90 day warranty. But as they've buggered it up, I feel a small claims court action coming on. Getting hold of their support is dreadful.

      Moving back to 1.0.7.10_1.2.3 solved completely the issue for me:

      - no more disconnections on 2.4

      - speed on wire moved from 95mbps to 350mbps

      I did it 10 days ago and all problems disappeared.

      Try and let me know.

        Nothing but problems on .20. Switched back to tomato and I’ve got no more problems.
