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.
They did whats called a hardware test over the phone killhippie...Asked me what color the lights are etc...Then she told me my routers hardware is working...And then proceeded to try talking me into all these different expensive plans after I already paid over $200 for my router...The router is working...just not working right! And it was fine before this last update...i guess the 2.4 gh part ill have to do without until they fix it...
What I don't understand is why your 2.4Ghz is not working and mine is? Same firmware and I had no issues with 1.0.6.28 either. How did you update, did you do a hard reset via the reset button on the back of the router after the update (wait till all lights are back on I give it a few minutes after to make sure)? Hold the reset button for 20 seconds is what I saw a netgear representative say is desired. I have always held it for about 10 or so and its been fine. Then enter all settings by hand not using a save file. If you have done all that, it makes no sense why some routers work and some don't, unless there is a lot of routers with some incompatibility in them in a hardware revision out there.
