Second thing. Should you decide to get a different router I would strongly urge you look someplace other then Netgear. Netgear really does not seem to have their act together regarding firmware. All releases seem to have major problems right now.
- Thanks I'll check that out also what other router would you recommend in case I need to get one?

Therefore I am not really running what I would recommend to the average Netgear forum member. I have over 20 years experience in routers and networks.
I watch forums folks have had good luck with Asus RT-AC86U similar to the r7800 and some Linksys. That is about all I have in the recommended area. Sorry I cannot be more specific.
