EX7000 1.0.1.78 Unstable

It's been over seven months and the 1.0.1.78 firmware has still not been fixed. This is beyond a joke.

There is a new firmware 1.0.1.80.
Uploaded it three days ago and it is working best ever.

Unfortunately doesn't work very well for me. Browser keeps saying "resolving host" across all my devices then decides to work for while, then same again.

This is what I did.
Made a back up of the extender setting befor I started.
I reset the unit to factory settings
Down loaded new firmware to my laptop.
Connected the extender directly to my laptop, hard wired
Disabled wifi or turn your modem off.
Uploaded new firmware.
Reconnected every thing.
Logged in and loaded settings.
It is working very well.
The 1.0.1.78 was a disaster.

Firmware 1.0.1.80 is unstable in extender mode and so is beta .82.

I'm constantly restarting it to get it to work again.

I have an Asus one which is flawless.
