Hi All,
Please post here for any update/issue related to the latest firmware 1.0.9.18.
You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

Hi JamesGL,
I wonder if you guys are doing anything with the feedback you're receiving. While your customers are left in the dark, with failing networks (personal and professional), I get the feeling you don't take this issue very seriously. At the moment your users are frustrated and disappointed, for the way Netgear is handeling this. That can't be the mission of Netgear, I guess.
Bugs can comeup anytime, that's something we all have to accept, but the way a manufacturer reacts on it, is what defines its reputation.
And let me say... the way Netgear reacts on this issue, that affects alot of users, is very (very, very, very!) frustrating.
Please make this issue a priority and release a bugfix, because this is not the way to go!
Best regards,
Jazzpr
Are other people seeing the "DoS attack: Smurf" in the router log when the 2.4Ghz band devices drop off like mrobbeloth reported? Just wondering if there is anything in the log that points to the problem for more than one person here...
No difference with F/W 18 for me. Worked for about 20hrs and then all connections dropped off - attached devices page on router showed no 2.4 or 5G connections. Going into Wireless setup page and pressing apply to restart wifi cures the issue. Tried multiple channels and all seem to have the same problem
Looks like going to have to buy a new router.
