I would recommend you reinstall whichever firmware you'd prefer via TFTP. This gets around the boot process so if there are any issues there you'll bypass them: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP then do a factory reset and it will be as fresh an install as you can get.

I received an email with access to the beta firmware hence why I was asking if I should stick to this current firmware I have and do another fresh install or install the beta firmware. I might do what yoiui said but with the beta firmware and see how that goes.
