Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
Anyone else having issues with the VPN implementation? I have to keep disabling then re-enabling it to work. When it's "not working" I can still login to the VPN and access devices on my home network, but I can't connect to anything outside of it. I have the VPN set to "All sites on the Internet & Home Network" and when I enable the VPN server it will work for a few minutes, but then out of what seems like nowhere will kill the connection to the internet and give me only access to the home network. If I disable and re-enable the VPN then it works again for a bit.
Didn't have this problem before 2.2.1.210.
Also REALLY frustrating that the update was forced AGAIN. With this VPN issue and the fact that Netgear keeps forcing these updates, I'm really considering going back to my Amplifi system.
How was your FW updated? via Auto update or manually?

The auto-update of firmware 2.2.1.210 bricked my router. Fortunately a manual TFTP load of the firmware got it back up and running. This firmware version has caused major internet connectivity issues. All wired and wireless devices lose internet connectivity for several minutes, multiple times a day. It is not my ISP or any of the associated hardware.
Some have said you can disable the auto update. I prefer to manually update FW anyways.

Auto-update, conveniently while on a video conference for work. Glad I had my phone nearby and could tether.
