YES!
I have WAX610 Insight managed APs across 20 different network locations and after the 10.5.0.14 update MANY MANY devices in all locations that had absolutely zero connectivity issues before are now STRUGGLING to stay connected.

Glad to hear it's not just me. I haven't had an issue like this before with firmware; how do we get Netgear's attention on this? Open support tickets?
