I've gone from 1.51 to 1.53

Restrictions seems to have gone and also setting of static ip's, which can't be right. Can someone else confirm these are issues or not that came with 1.53 - might have to go to 1.5.2

Router is a Netgear 3700 v2

Try to go to
Firewall->Restrictions
You should be able to find it there.

You think of setting a dynamically allocated static IP address?
Try to go to
Connection->DHCP
You should be able to find it there.

Please return and tell if you can find it, or if it is simply just not working.
Please report the problems in the respective subforums.

If it is setup as a "gateway", then try to reupgrade the firmware.

1.5.3

Previously router was on 1.5.1 with restrictions and dhcp in their respective menus

It's gateway, looks like the issue is the restore of the configuration. I reloaded firmware, checked and all menu's were correct and present. Then restored configuration and the menu items went.

Looks like I need to reset and then reinput the settings

okay
Good that you found the solution.
I have "just" used my hack to save the settings, so it is a long time since I have used the restore function.

This happens when upgrading occasionally

It's not always repeatable, but if this ever occurs, usually you just
need to reset to defaults and re-configure from scratch.

I reset the firmware to default config, still same issue. Reloaded the firmware all menus restored back correctly. I then restored the config which caused the menus to go again. Restored and am reinputting the results in again.

I'm guessing the config is corrupting it - not huge issue, strange though :(
