Hi mate,
Can you check your PM's on Kitz. I've sent you the email address of the support manager who is wanting to discuss the issue with you.
What I meant was, Have you deleted that firmware off the computer you are using to flash the firmware with and downloading a fresh file from the Netgear website.
I was about to post exactly the same suggestion, great minds think alike... fools etc.
It was the only thing that came to my mind, Hopefully deleting the firmware off his computer and freshly downloading it will help.
Nope, Not really. I was sent a test one as I found a little issue with setting a static IP. It seems to have resolved it anyway.
I'm going to suggest a few other things to this other guy that contacted me. They did say iOS and Android support will be coming out soon though.
Ok, Was just checking. I'll have a look for the link. Can you not PM on Overclockers?
Edit: Found the dropbox links but all test firmwares have been removed. I may have it still on my PC at home but not due home for a further 3 weeks yet.

It's either an issue for sky users or a freak coincidence that all affected are on sky. Best way to find out woukd be to use a known good one on a sky connection I guess.
Oh right, may be a bad batch then. It's hard to tell. I've not seen any issues either but I'm Zen.
My first port of call would be to try another modem to see if it can hold the connection. If it can, you may have a faulty unit. If not, I would say either a wiring fault or issue with BT side. Have you tried the test socket?
Hmm if it still drops out with the sky routers then it could be a line issue. Maybe OR left your place and discovered something elsewhere. Just monitor it a bit longer. See how it goes.
You can only try it. Every line is different as you know so if it improves it then win win. If not, You could always return it and try a different route?
That is what I would do. At least you can say you have tried it. Just remember to update to the latest firmware and give it at least a week to make sure all is OK.
To get stats etc from it, Follow this guide.
1) Download the unlock tool from here https://github.com/LuKePicci/NetgearTelnetEnable/blob/master/binaries/windows/telnetenable.exe
2) Place file in C:\Windows\System32.
3) Login to netgear router and click advanced and look at the router information block. Take note of the MAC address in there.
4) This point I made a notepad file with the info if I ever need it again.
5) Open windows command prompt.
6) Type this without the quote marks "telnetenable.exe 192.168.0.1 {MAC ADDRESS of Router LAN Port - in step 3} {user id- default admin} {password- default password}
7) It should look like something like this - telnetenable.exe 192.168.0.1 000FB5A2BE26 admin password
8) Hit enter and you should get a message stating Payload has been sent to Netgear router. Telnet should be enabled.
9) Open DSL Stats, And go to config page. Select one of the netgear routers from the list and delete the username and password info. Hit the play button.
