Hi Marissa, I just bought 2 new Netgear FVS318N ProSave routers for my business and home and also had issues. I spend quite a bit of time on the phone with Netgear support since my initial attempt to upgrade the router to the latest firmware didn't seem to help much, either. The support agent then told me that they recommend that after the upgrade one should reset the router to factory settings and for me that did the trick. Most routers should have a backup function so what I ended doing is to back up all the custom settings I had, then I re-installed the router firmware update, I then reset the router and after it had rebooted I restored the settings from my backup file.
Apart from this the Netgear support guys also told me that there was definitely a bit of a connection issue with devices running iOS 6.0 and 6.0.1 but that it was something Apple has to address which apparently they are in the process of doing. I know from the Today in iOS Podcast that iOS 6.1 Beta 3 came out last week and Rob predicted that this would be the last Beta which means we should see the update soon. I guess with Christmas around the corner it maybe in early or mid January, but I doubt it would be much later than that. How old is your router? If it is relatively old and you are considering buying a new router I would suggest you look at the new Western Digital routers, they have some pretty high-end ones, I have always been partial to Netgear product although I would not recommend the ones I bought. They are in their small business category, they are robust and have the capability to create a VPN tunnel between the 2 units (at my house and my business) which is why I bought them. This way I am basically on the local network at my store when I am at home and can access my computers and data, but for home use there are better and less expensive choices out there.
