hi guys

please could you help me with the 338's firmware
which is the most stable firmware available?
which gives you the best vpn connectivity?
im using no-ip at the moment cause dyndns doesnt work
seems to be stable at the moment...
but i do have an issue with pre shared key chaning to ******
when you do a power cycle
im in south africa so we are having issues with electricity
current firmware version 2.1.3-17 thinking about downgrading
to kill the pre shared key issue...

I would use APC backup UPS in the first place to minimize the damaged to router.

fast as "****" preshare key are know issue so I say downgrade or use backup UPS to se current firmware

Hi,
as far as I know the preshared key issue is present in every firmware I tried. Downgrade your router firmware won't help. I'm actually using a beta firmware that make the issue less frequent. I would recomend you to open a case with netgear tech support, so you could try the latest firmwares.

The UPS option is of course the only practical workaround to this issue.

hi guys

thanks for your help, got the firewall on ups @ the moment...
but we all know with a ups it only lasts for a certain amount of time...
sad thing is i have 2x fvs538 2x fvs338 & 3x fvs124g's
wish netgear would release firmware that really works..
would i be right in saying the 2.1.0-7 firmware for the fvs338 is more stable than 2.1.3-17 firmware???

I'm running 3.0.2-21 in my only fvs338. The router is always online, so no psk issue. Never had a single issue since I upgraded. I would choose the latest firmware available.
