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!

I had similar issues with QoS with multiple devices so I just disabled it. I'm not worried about my speed anyway since I have plenty. (100mbps).

I also setup all my streaming devices on LAN as much as possible or 5ghz. My phones and laptops also use 5ghz. Low priority devices and my kids tablets and guests run off 2.4ghz.

Just wanted to add so thoughts of mine after trying a few things.

So I'm running the .18 firmware and whilst I'm having ZERO drops, the speed on 2.4ghz is atrocious. I'm running 5ghz on most appliances and phones to get by but the range is obviously effected.

I tri d turning off the 20/40 coexistence setting which is supposed to speed up 2.4ghz and guess what...it gets worse.

So I'm really stuck here. Seriously considering putting tomato on it unless Netgear can give any update on what's actually happening?

I know another firmware was given to some via PM but I'm not trying that unless it's released as a Beta at least.

Any news..ever..anyone??
