I had experienced TONS of disconnects, primarily iOS devices (they're pretty popular, you think?), and helped Netgear techs troubleshoot and tested beta firmware. Finally in August last year FW version v1.12.020 fixed these issues, and ran fine (nearly flawless) for months... Then, in December 2017, the auto upgrades started coming in and it has been worse than it originally was (nice testing guys)! And the geniuses at Netgear FORCE you to download that poorly tested garbage by not giving you the auto upgrade opt out. So, once again I (and my family) were dealing with the constant disconnects, unreliable, garbage. Then, even though I've already spent countless hours of my valuable personal time troubleshooting the prior issue, I figured out how to downgrade back to v1.12.020 -- which once again worked FINE. I also read posts on how to disable the Netgear genius auto upgrade design (low level telnet into each device and execute the NVRAM commands, etc.), but even with that they just recently auto "upgraded" to the garbage firmware again. I can't log this in an actual support case because Netgear would now have the stones to charge me for "Premium" support since I'm out of the original 90-day window. Netgear, this is absolutely ridiculous!
