What model product are you talking about? Besides the firmware version, providing the model# of the product would be helpful for starters.

Sorry. Should have mentioned. The model is WNDR4300. Any help on how to get the repeater function back with this firmware would help a lot

Thanks. That was the only way I could get the function back and I had to downgrade to a very old version .40

Re: Firmware 1.0.2.80 has issues related to repeater function
I would really appreciate if the firmware can be upgraded to the latest version as remaining on lower versions exposes me to the security flaws fixed in later versions. Why can't an upgraded firmware version be provided where the repeater functionality is also present or the only way the developers can fix those security issues is by removing the repeater feature?

Re: Firmware 1.0.2.80 has issues related to repeater function
@ansumanbehera Due to wireless vulnerability, they decided to delete repeating function cause of the type of wireless security (WEP) that can be used. That's also why upgrades will no longer include Repeating functionality.

My guess is Netgear just doesn't want to go through the small effort to implement the change.

NETGEAR is using WDS technology and that's why it's limited to WEP type of security.
