I see you didn't mention doing any factory resets after downgrading or updating. Something you might give a try next time you update FW or if you have current version loaded, something to try and compare tests. Normally this isn't needed, however as a last resort, for those seeing differences after FW update should reset and setup from scratch before downgrading FW. 

 

Some of us don't see issues like this, however I for one manually update my systems factory reset and setup from scratch. System works as expected.

Ummm, are you just trying to troll me now?  You and I had an entire conversation about my Factory Reset not working.  Look earlier in this same thread.

Have you tried the .40 firmware?

 

I was also having lots of issues with .38 (slowdown especially on iPads), but the .40 hot-fix seems to have resolved many of the issues.

 

I'm tempted to go back to .30,  because I remeber that everything was really good prior to .38

 

Thanks!

 


I looked into it, but the release notes state that the only fix is an SSL certificate issue.  There's no way that would have adressed all the issues I was having, so I didn't both trying it out.


Thanks.

 

I downgraded to .30 and life is good again. 🙂

Downgrade or reset to factory defaults is the usual stupidity by which Netgear has us ensurning that their stuff works.  And, 99.9% of the time resetting to factory defaults does nothing.  This thread is also about devices being broken and not some certificate issue.  For me, the devices issue is even present in .30 - so sorry this is not fixed whatsoever.
