    Cheers.

    USB recovery back to the original 6.1.6 firmware got it working 100% again.

    For my RN104 (originally running 6.3.5) I've done the USB recovery (cf. the instructions above) and have reinstalled the OS (the 'reset button procedure' to acces the boot menu cf. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22891) but no improvement. I'm currently in 'Read-Only boot-mode"(same URL) and backing up whatever I normally don't backup so that I can do a 'factory default' afterwards (also explained on the same URL).

    I will need at least 12 hours to copy off the remaining data, so I won't be able to tell you what my results are until tomorrrow, but I will update this information ASAP.
