Netgear has released new firmware for the WNDR3700 and its successor the WNDR37AV. These network routers contain four gigabit ports and can establish wireless connections via the 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n protocols. Firmware 1.0.6.98 makes the router suitable for IPv6, among other things, and the device is now certified for DLNA-usage. Various bug fixes have also been implemented. The full changelog for this release looks like this:

New Features & Enhancements:

• Support log with different categories.
• Fixed “HDD in sleep mode can’t be mounted” issue.
• Fixed “can’t wake up Seagate HDD from sleep mode” issue.
• Fixed “Traffic meter memory leak, customer can’t connect to internet after running with traffic meter on for over 10 days” issue
• Fixed “can’t login shared folder if device name is changed”.
• Fixed “couldn’t connect to CS game server” issue.
• Fixed “Traffic meter – The “Today’s traffic counter” and “This month’s only” are cleared but other data still exist in Internet Traffic Statistics table after click “Restart Counter Now” button.”
• Fixed “Traffic meter – Click “Restart Counter Now” button won’t reset the traffic meter counter.”
• Fixed “In NA firmware, the wireless region is blank in wireless setting page, but the actual setting is correct.”

Known Issues & Bugs:

• NTFS write performance (upload to WNDR37AV attached USB storage) is much slower than read no matter using samba or FTP. FTP read is 5 times faster than write. Samba (ie. access network drive via windows) read is 2 times faster than write.
• Sometimes clicking “Safely remove USB device” button can’t remove USB storage safely.
  Workaround: Make sure you are not accessing the attached USB device and the LED on USB device is not blinking (it means no one is accessing it). Then you need to remove the USB device directly and ignore the message about “remove USB device failure) from web GUI.
• Traffic meter – Traffic volume control is not accurate due to sampling rate. It may exceed the limit.
  Workaround: Set a proper number in “Mbytes before the monthly limit is reached” in the traffic control.
