yeah that's what I was thinking, downloads.netgear.com is the download URL it appears from their download link on their website. Talking to support right now about it.
The problem is, is there any previous firmware version that does not have the Wi-Fi disconnecting issue?
every version has been solid for me up until this one, their phone support is pretty crappy, some Indian lady wants me to enable Implicit Beamforming and all my disconnect problems will magically go away supposedly.
She also claims if you do a manual firmware update it will disable any future automatic updates, not sure that I believe that.
I'm running full router mode and so far things have been stable on the new FW. (was dropping regularly before)
One other thing that I did - not sure if it is significant - but after the update I forced the iphones to forget the SSID then rejoin again. NO idea if that helped or not.
At this point I am happy - however, the kids are now home and hammering the network. I am holding my breath
