    Thanks for advice.

If/when you revert, make sure to do it over a hardwired connect and to reset the router afterwards back to factory. I'd agree with microchip8 that the .42 is the version you want to be on. There's been many issues with the version after that.

      With the last year track record of Netgear and their less then stellar firmware support, I would not hold no breath that there will be a quick fix or even a fix as somethings have been going on for over a year now. Reason I went else where.
