See below for example of how the LB2120 Firmware Info screen looks like after update. For other device just need to make sure that you are using App Version: NTG9X07C_12.09.05.27

Hi Ernest,
Although a /32 (hostroute) mask is valid, I find many if not most modern routers and firewalls do not properly support it. Given that, it is best to avoid using it and saving everyone a lot of grief.
I think part of the problem and that the general rule we use is that the default gateway needs to be on the same subnet as the interface. Using a /32 breaks that logical rule.
I have been using the beta firmware for a while and it has been working fine with both SonicWALL and Cisco firewalls.

GaryEinstein I totally agree with you that the best practice is to avoid using it and follow the general rule where the default gateway needs to be on the same subnet as the interface. Hopefully this a lesson learned for Netgear Aircard firmware team.
