Hi FURRYe38:

So far so good (very short timeframe). Also, changed the NTP server from Netgear's to time.nist.gov. If I continue to have connectivity issues, I'll do the factory reset and re-setup from scratch. Thanks for your help.

Wifi still very slow, I will move back to a previous release. Second time after a firmware update I need to refer back to a previous release. Thank you Netgear for your excellent work

Moved back to 2.5.1.16 this is the only reliable firmware for me.
Considering the price of the system I should not do all this work and or do factory reset.
Factory reset means I will have to set all port forwarding again and several iot devices in the network must be reconfigured again

In this case firmware update caused reset of the router so it means that i will need another hour of work

To avoid having to configure router settings after reset or anything else, one should have a backup configuration to file saved. Helps save time if a rest is needed.

Hopefully FURRYe38 and his team will do a better QA job with the next firmware release
