Well imagine that. After a week of nothing but problems, this new firmware fixed my problems. Thanks to all of those who have helped me try to find a solution to my woes. Unfortunately, I can't say the same towards the Netgear people as throughout my ordeal, not ONCE did I hear from them. Shady customer service at its best.
So this is what I think: Netgear does have a good product when it works but the same can't be said about their relation with us, the customers. Very sad.
Does 1.0.5.70 fix the GUI not changing? I had the same problems as some where when I downgraded from 1.0.6.40 to 1.0.5.64 the GUI stayed at 1.0.6.40-2.1.38.1. The funny thing is I was having strang wireless issues untill I put 1.0.6.40 back on. So was wondering if anyone downgraded to 1.0.5.70 without any issues? And yes I reset my modem each time and manually changed settings each time I allways update my modem.
I don't know about your problems but for me, going to 1.0.5.70 fixed my nightmares.
I was having speed issues on my wireless 2.5Ghz. My speeds were all over the place. I think it had to do with trying to downgrade firmware and the GUI staying the same version no matter which firmware I tried.
Have you tried the 1.0.5.70 on your router? That's the one that worked for me.
