Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have problems with new firmware.
First note down the settings – screen grabs can help here.

Yes, I already know this. The R7800 router has been reset by both the Netgear web interface and the back button. This problem is still there.
Based on other comments in this forum, It sounds like I am not the only one with this same problem. How do we get Netgear Engineering to acknowledge and fix this bug in the R7800 firmware update 1.0.2.36?
As mentioned before, the main reason I bought this expensive router was to run a network drive. With R7800 firmware update 1.0.2.36 the router is worthless. I know I can revert to R7800 firmware update 1.0.2.32 but it is my understanding that 1.0.2.36 fixes some very serious security flaws.
