New firmware for DG834GT

have you installed this version , prior to this release only V1.02.09 has been stable for me

All the previous versions have been stable for me, except 1.02.19 which had several problems. I blogged about it and a lot of people responded who experienced the same issues. I downgraded back to 1.02.16 but have now upgraded to 1.03.22 and haven't found any issues so far. Most importantly, the new WPA2 wireless encryption works (in 1.02.19 it was erratic).
 
I need to remember to upgrade my firmware - have issues with the connection being dropped. Hopefully I'll remember tonight!
 
Had a techie here the other day. When he noticed my brandnew DG834 on the desk he was like "OMG! They gave you the most crappy router and charged you 1000 bucks for it? These Netgear routers are causing a lot of trouble. Some ******** high up bought the **** and now they're trying to get them rolled out to the public. By now they're sitting on 350000 unsold units." I don't know if he overdid and if the router is really that crappy. But he just installed the cheapo but stable DuoPlus router which will also cost me much less. He made a fault number for me so I can exchange it without problems.
