    Netgear support has sent me a beta firmware to test. It has been running for over 24 hours without connectivity problem. Initially, it was not working until I first did hardware factory reset. Directly applying the beta firmware did not work.

    Thank you for all the people who have been given me the support and help. You are the best.

The biggest problem with DD-WRT (besides random reboots, but those can be taken care off) is the NAS transfer speed. 2.5MB/s compared to Stock 16MB/s makes me wonder what is happening when using DD-WRT. These guys are doing an excellent job on that firmware however, but for people that bought the router for it's NAS function, it's a no-go.
