    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    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!

I can say Netgear is working on problem and they have gotten the hardware component vendors involved also. I spent several hours yesterday testing scenerios, loading FW, sending logs, etc.  We seem to be making progress.  I am sure I am not the only one working with their engineers.

 

Again they are working on it and progress is being made.  Hopefully fix is getting close.

    I got an email from Jack Chen if i am willing to run their debug firmware but unfortunately i have no time for testing.

     

    I hope someone with more time can test it in order to help the Netgear engineers to solve this problem.

     

    I will follow this thread for further updates.

     

    Cheers.

      I just upgraded to the "wrt-vortex" firmware, Now if i was to revert to NG Firmware how would i go about doing so in the future?

        You're joking right, do you really want to go back after you will experience the stability of XWRT-Vortex?

      Got the same message from Chen.  I too declined.  I already dumped the router for something else.  I told him I couldn't wait any longer for Netgear to admit a problem.  I have a business to run.  Hopefully they get an answer in the next few months.  If they are still asking for help, things can't be going too smooth.  Good luck to all.
