ipad wifi connection dropping after firmware update 1.0.1.64_2.0.41 (RAX15)

Has anyone seen ipads dropping wifi connections after the recent Netgear firmware update? Even after I restart the iPad it doesn't want to connect. It tries to connect but cannot establish a connection. I think the only way I can get it to connect is after I reboot the router but then the connection drops again and I can't just keep rebooting my router several times a day!

Router: Nighthawk RAX15
Firmware: 1.0.1.64_2.0.41

Device: iPad 2 MC979LL/A (the old ipad)
iOS Version: 9.3.5

      So far its been good this week. Last week I needed to reboot the router twice (once for an iPad that wasn't connecting and another reboot for a Lenovo laptop that wasn't connecting. I'm not sure if this is related to the recent firmware update.

       

      Thanks -Jason
