1. that router hasn't had an update in over 3 years. And it was originally released in 2009. So its a router thats over a decade old.
So I doubt you'll see more updates for it unless its security releated (doubtful)
2. This is the community support forum. where members of the public help out. We're not netgear.
3. When did it quit working? Was it recent? Have you tried reinstalling the firmware to the router, doing a factory reset, and a reinstall?
4. what modem/gateway is it connected to?

I understand hope Netgear team also checking it or monitoring the forum.

Recently happened from past few weeks tried re-installing firmware also. Today I reinstalled the initial version of firmware and then updated to latest via router auto firmware update process let me monitor for few days if it resolved my problem.
4. what modem/gateway is it connected to?
It's connected with Fiber Modem as Static IP configuration in WAN port.

Even if they monitor this forum, I doubt they'll dedicate much resources to a device thats over a decade old.
What actual gateway is it?
- birenderJun 06, 2021AspirantHi, I monitored it for a few days and not getting that problem now.
I thnk that solution worked.
First flashed initial firmware then updated to latest via router firmware update page.
Now it's working fine till I am writing this post.
