    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!

Updated firmware this morning and have been having constant drop off of internet connectivity! What's going on?

    Really... 713 posts on the topic in this thread alone, and that's what you're going to ask?

      Perhaps a little perusal of previous posts may have been prudent but the question is valid. We still don't know what's going on.

      You are fair to say this but, I was reading  about wireless drop-off complaints. Before I continued to read another 700 posts on the same topic, I posted about internet connectivity. I'm seeing strong wifi signal but my Netgear CM500 modem is dropping intermittantly after the 1.0.9.18 update this morning. I was thinking a different issue. The problem is corrected by re-booting the modem and not the router.

        Dropping and reconnecting WAN to LAN is also one of the issues caused by the latest firmware as well as a spontaneous reboot of the router.
