Installed this firmware update, but the wifi connection issue continue.

I have a fair few wifi device in my house.

Nook, connects but no internet
Note 2 (jelly bean) sometimes connects sometimes doesn't
Blackberry 9900 "
Iphone 4 "
Samsung laptop no issues
Nabaztag tag... constant connects and disconnects, connected but no dns

This behavior has been consistant with this router from day one, I am on my second unit.

I have never had issues like this on the various routers I have used...

Is anyone actually trying to fix the wifi issues on this router, I can't believe I am alone having issues.
