If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.
An interesting thing is when accessing it using Google Chrome, Chrome reports the connection having been "reset". This means the computer is connecting to the router but something is forcing a disconnect. But, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. Plus, connecting to other home networked computers can be next to impossible.
But, I located the culprit to be KIS and it can easily be corrected. Do the following on all your machines and your networks will function fine.
1) Right click on the red K on the lower right of your screen
2) Left click settings
3) Left click Protection
4) Left click Firewall
5)Left click Networks
6) Find the adapters for your wired & wireless ports and change them to "Local Network"
7) Close the networks page
8) Left click Configure Packet Rules
9) Find "Any network activity (Local network)"
10) Right click on it and select edit
11) Check the "inactive" box
12) Left click close
Exit all pages and reboot the machine. You're good to go! (from kaspersky support pages)

Does not work for me, when I do all the steps your have given, am still not able to access the router, instead of connection reset I get ERR NETWORK ACCESS DENIED in browsers.
That was from Kapsersky, so other than that I have no idea. It seems more related to Windows/Kaspersky, as I use a Mac and have no issues.
Hello !
I've had got those problems and issues with this terrible firmware.
If you can't log to router anymore, you can have access with booting your pc on a linux live cd (any distro). So connect to your router with FF for exemple and re-install urgently firmware 1.0.4.28_1.1.64. This is the last one that gets well. Firmware 1.0.5.52_1.1.81 seems to be broken when you re-install it after a try with 1.0.6.28.
Very good job Netgear :-(
It was found that with this version of FW, it somehow tends to run afoul of Kaspersky anti-virus. If you have Kaspersky, and cannot get to the web admin GUI (you might get an error like connection reset), then temporarily un-install Kaspersky, login to the web GUI and setup the router.
You can then re-install Kaspersky. Not a great solution, not sure what the web GUI could be doing that is triggering it.
I personally have Trend Micro anti-virus, and don't have a problem.
