Jared,

Netgear is divided into a few divisions and they don't overlap, is this direct to consumer gear or gear they sold 
through an ISP?

I’m wondering if someone has any contacts at Netgear they would be willing to forward some information to.  While 
working with their devices one of my colleagues discovered some poor behavior of their embedded DNSMASQ, such as 
returning REFUSED to DNS queries.

eg:

$ dig +tcp puck.nether.net.

where a UDP query passes just fine.

This is one of a few issues we’ve uncovered, so hoping for someone who can work on building some fixed firmware.

Device in question:

Netgear wnr2000v3
v1.1.2.10 (latest on website)

Is there a mailing list that exists for the purposes of discussing these types of CPE device issues?
