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

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!

LMAO, no but I'm very enthusiastic about this firmware. I see a lot of desperate members here. In the end you can alway buy a new router, but it's so easy to try the ***-firmware first. Everyone deserves good advice :-)))

Installing third party firmware is good advice. At this point in time, it's the only thing that really fixes the issue. I just hit 31 days of uptime on Advanced Tomato. So either keep wasting your time trying to fix a flawed firmware, or go third party. That's your two choices.

We payed for a working router with Netgear firmware. It is ridiculous how we are treated. Like buying a Mercedes but you can't use it. You must find yourself another engine to make it drive again. Unbelievable!!

I'm now at 48hrs with XWRT-Vortex 380.69 and not a single drop out. Speeds are consistent on both bands, my guest wireless, and my hard wired devices. :)
