Evil Netgear Router

So my netgear router is on its last leg, well my last firmware update has some how fried something in my router to the point where pages dont load all the images. kinda like a guard on email services where you cant see the images with out marking them safe, its so bad to where i get bad ping on most of my Xbox Live games. upon futher research about my netgear router i've found that the routers dont have no "real" factory reset setting.
