OK, rules that out.... to be honest, with all of the FVS devices, they can become "corrupted" to where certain features stop working until you do a factory reset & reconfigure. I have seen local DHCP/DNS go out, and completely stop resopnding to DHCP requests or DNS lookups, and the only solution was to reset.
And doing a reconfiguration of the device is not an optimal decicsion as the devices are located in offices around the world which local IT do not have access to.
Then the Netgear devices are unfortunate ones to have in those locations. For as long as I can remember, they MAY require resetting/reconfiguring. I've done plenty of firmware upgrades in place, and as far as I can TELL nothing was broken, but I've also done upgrades where the entire configuration was wiped (uploaded certificates and all). This partly explains why they're so cheap.....
I suggest you to try to update the firmware of the SRX5308 to the latest version 4.3.5-3. Be reminded to perform a factory reset after upgrading the firmware then reconfigure it from scratch. Check if same problem will occur.
As far as I have checked, there are no issues logged on the SRX5308 as per you have described here on this forum thread. For me, it is recommended to perform a factory reset after upgrading the firmware then reconfigure it from scratch in order to have a clean start using the latest firmware version.
You may upgrade the firmware then check if the problem is fixed. However, if ever the problem occurs again, then perform a factory reset then reconfigure the SRX5308 from scratch and check if the problem will still occur.
You may download the latest firmware version 4.3.5-3 here.
Okay, but just wanted to let you know everytime I update the firmware the NTP time sync will screw up.
