Same issue with my router. Called support and they have no other options than sign up for a support plan. Crazy. I beleive firmware issues are intentional so people will sign up for support. Bad business practice and I hope netgear would change. They should be providing patches to fix the issue rather than asking to pay for support and then they try to fix the issues. Totally unhappy.
