"Attached devices" list -Netgear DG834G

Hi

Since upgrading firmware to V3.01.25, the "attached devices" list on
the router browser page is very flakey.

There is no problem with wireless devices actually connecting and
working but wireless devices are only listed for 1 to 2 hours then
only wired devices listed.

Disabling and re-enabling "access control" resolves the problem for 1
to 2 hours.

Switching off wireless devices and reconnecting makes no difference.

I am using Access Control, IP address reservation, and no encryption.

I dont seem to be getting anywhere with Netgear support.

Any ideas - or is this a common problem ?

I'm running V3.01.29 on my DG834G and the list is not showing any of my
wireless attached devices. I think this feature has always been flaky -
I can't remember any firmware version on which it did work.

My router (AVM Fritz!Box Fon) will only display attached devices if they
get their IP addresses from the built in DHCP server. Anything with a
fixed address, such as my print server box, doesn't show up.
