I have applied this release candidate firmware 14 days ago and have not had a single restart. I was having 1 random restart a day on average prior to the update. I have followed the specific sequence that was requested.
- Update firmware
- Factory reset
- Fresh setup using hardwired computer through ethernet
- DHCP server IP ranged manual entered as 192.168.1.100 to 200
It is unacceptable to be going through this process for a 400 USD router that we happened to buy 5 of to have all business partners on same kind of equipment. Hopefully, Netgear does not break it again on a future firmware update.
Only v2 users had reported seeing this issue. No v1s had been reported since this thread first started.
There was a initial test beta that same out about a year go that didn't work. This 2nd test beta came out last last year.
Why we are checking and conforming router serial numbers. Again, this patch is only for v2 since v1 hadn't been seeing this issue. There would be no need for v1 users.
