After several weeks, seven actually, support gave me this very brief and blunt answer for the exact same problem.
"We no longer support that feature on the Nighthawk series."That was the entire email message verbatim. No hello, no goodbye, no thank you, nothing else. I just ordered two new ASUS routers and couple of TrendNet switches today and I will be trashing canning my netgear devices once they arrive.

Yea I bought this router brand new and Netgear will not honor their warranty or 90 day tech support offer. I may have bought this product at a clearance price, but it was still sealed in the factory box.
This thing has been the worst wireless device I have ever owned. It is setup as a wireless access point, and it cannot even do that reliably. It crashes and reboots roughly twice an hour because it over heats. I getting rid of it before it catches my house on fire.A worthless piece of junk I paid $174 for, and now add insult to injury I have to pay a $45 electronics recycling fee to dispose of it.
