That doesn't sound good.

48 hours and positive results. Required a second full factory reset after update, then everything started working well.
Will provide Netgear my officail detailed update on Sunday. Sorry, it will be private due to NDA.

I think the fact that you can indicate positive results is a very big step forward.
Looking forward to seeing the details when they can be made public.
Many thanks for the update.

Flash008, I too am testing the beta code.
After you upgraded, you say that you did a factory reset. Why did you factory reset? Did you see any difference after the upgrade but before the factory reset?
I have done the upgrade but not the reset yet. I have seen some different screens with different options, but no positive results. So I am debating on a factory reset (although I wouldn't know why this should be needed).

Per instructions, a factory reset was requested. I am testing the code per Netgear's instructions. As with many software/firmware upgrades with many OEMs, there are times where a significant change in code, commands and kernel changes require a factory reset to insure old config commands that are no longer valid will not create undesirable impact. Hence the reset to insure no lingering old code, commands, etc are interfering with a new API, kernel, etc. I can say that the results were not positive after performing the first install, and factory reset. But I performed an additional factory reset and things have been much better, but not perfect. I sent my official response yesterday. Let's see what they do.
