Upgrading to WAC510 Firmware Version 9.9.0.10 from WAC510 Firmware Version 9.0.8.6 causes "Firmware Upgrade server not reachable."

How are you going about it? Manual update is the most reliable.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Check the section in the manual
Manually Download Firmware and Upgrade the Access Point
For more advice on your device, try the appropriate section:

Resolved, just installed F/W Version 9.9.1.3 Released on 9/4/2023
Was not a F/W Failure, but the Upgrade Server was just not available. It is now.
