Price / performance ratio is correspondingly poor.
Addendum: I can now reproduce 100% what the problem is. This is without question a bug in the firmware in terms of DHCP requests / responses. It comes down to a buffer overflow / underflow. Since the firmware is obviously no longer maintained, can not do anything here.
In addition all ICMP packets and UDP packets are gedropt of devices on the bridge to devices behind the bridge are also not passed. You can see the data while using a sniffer, but they are incorrectly formatted, so that the client never receives it. It is set incorrectly (my Wireshark verified), so that the packages can never arrive at the receiver a bit.
So it is not up to me but clearly to a faulty implementation of Netgear in the firmware. Accordingly I have herabgesezt evaluating to 1 star. The Netgear Support asserts repeatedly sharing here as a comment rather than the software problem to get to grips with.
This is therefore, strictly speaking, a defect on the device itself. It does not work as advertised due to software errors. According to the application area is very limited and no one can guarantee that you do not have a device that sends DHCP requests Although standards compliant but not as expected from Netgear.
Conclusion: Stay away! Better to buy a cheap router, which can be connected in a bridge mode (y. Alternative Softwar as DD-WRT play)
