R7800 firmware update 1.0.2.36 broke Network Drive - unable to make backups.

I guess I will be putting this router up on Ebay soon, to many issues not beign cared for.

I bought this router recently and I am also experiencing the same problem. I have opened an email support ticket. If I don't get any satisfactory response then I will return it and buy Asus or Linksys router.

Goodbye to everyone and good luck. I have wasted enough of my valuable time trying to get Netgear to fix this bug.

I think I have been very patient since it has been over a month since the 1.0.2.36 firmware was released (8/29/2017) with this fatal flaw in it.

That being said, I have totally given up on Netgear ever fixing this problem. Yesterday I installed DD-WRT (Kong version) on my R7800 router. Below is the link:

It took me a little time to figure out how to get my Network drive working but now everything is working as it should. As an additional plus, DD-WRT offers encrypted DNS that is missing in the stock Netgear firmware.

As I said before, I spent a lot of my hard earned money buying a high end Netgear router that I really liked until Netgear broke it with the 1.0.2.36 firmware update. The total lack of urgency by Netgear to fix this problem is appalling.

There is an old saying "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". Well Netgear, you got my money once, never again.

Hi All,

Issue has been reported already and NETGEAR is working on it. I will provide feedback for any updates.

I am also seeing this issue on .36.  Going to try rolling back and hopefully that will fix the issue.

Reverting to .32 worked. Didn't have to factory reset.

May we all know some information then; when did they "Start" working on the fix please? Any update is better than none at all sir.

Thank you

Hi Guys!
I have good news here. I've updated my R7800 with Voxel's 1.0.2.40SF firmware, and all my settings, static IPs, open ports, etc. have been transferred to the new firmware with doing nothing. And the most critical 2Gb problem is gone!
