Hi Elaine,
I really appreciate your support, but you should let your designers understand that resetting the unit after an upgrate should not be the normal way of handling these situations. The simple reason is that if some wrong setting is propagated from an old official release to a new one, it is design fault of Netgear which causes all of us to lose a lot of time to reconfigure our networks. You are actually avoiding design/test costs, moving the cost on your customers, which at the end will not be happy and remember this the next time they will buy a router...

Not every update requires it but some updates have major changes which require a complete reset, unless you dont want any major changes or improvements. Even on an iPhone or Android there are times where you are better off resetting due to issues post upgrade.
