NETGEAR D6000 (Confirmed Firmware Bug) V1.0.0.68_1.0.1

[gafferwiles]

I wish to confirm that there is a bug in the V1.0.0.68_1.0.1 firmawre of the D6000 Router. The bug affects the routers ability to reserve IP addresses. When attempting to reserve an IP address for a connected tdevice when clicking ADD + after entering the details, the webpage turns to a blank grey page.

It was discussed in this post:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/DSL-Modems-Routers/NETGEAR-D6000-Possible-Firmware-Bug-V1-0-0-68-1-...

The suggested solution to revert back to V1.0.0.67_1.0.1 of the firmware works as after reverting to the older firmware full functionality is resotored. Secoindly I noticed that the interface is noticeably faster and more responsive, but I might be imagining things. Let us hope NetGear addresses this issue as there might be biugs and vulnerabilities in V1.0.0.67_1.0.1.

I have exactly the same issue on my device with this firmware version. And it doesn't seem to be the only problem with that firmware version.
