    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!

FW version 1.0.9.10_1.2.21 that I rolled back to three days ago still ok, no drops.

What I meant to add after my last post is that, OK I'm up and running but having to use outdated firmware because Netgear messed up is not acceptable. Neither is having to scrabble around for a fix with no support from the company. I'm nervous about updating the FW when, or if, they release a fix. How can I trust that it won't have other undiscovered bugs?

I think either another Router or third party software will be my route. Netgear, you've lost me.
