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!

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.
