For users seeing a Access Denied message after the FW is loaded and processed by the router, users will need to press the reset button in back for 10 seconds then release. https://kb.netgear.com/9665/How-do-I-perform-a-factory-reset-on-my-NETGEAR-router
Walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser at 192.168.1.1 resolves this issue.

Do NOT load a backup configuration file. Access to routers web page returns. Then go back in and make a new backup configuration to file after the router is set up from scratch.
I also saw this issue with my RAX50v2 after updating to v.28 FW. A factory reset and walk thru the Setup wizard solved it and I got access to the WEB UI on the router using MS Edge. Users can revert to prior working version of FW as well.
If this fails for you, then you'll need to contact NG support and have them help you out.
I just did the update. After the update I had no internet access untll I power cycled the router. RAX54v2.
Um, was this version of FW seen but the routers Auto Update feature?
Far as I know and can find, this new version is ONLY for the RAX50v2 model. I looked and didn't see anything for all other v2 model RAXs. Just the 50 series.
I In the past the RAX50v2 and the RAX54v2 firmware has been interchangeable. I have received beta firmware to help me and Comcast resolve and IPv6 issue that was labeled RAX50v2. Anyway it seems to be working fine with the additional benefit of increasing my Wi-Fi speed. Near the router before the update my speed was in the mid 600Mbps and now it is in the mid 800Mbps. My wired speed can go up to 940Mbps.
Ok, just checking.
Thanks for the feedback.
Enjoy.

Routers usually reboot themselves after an update.
Didn't that happen with you?
Yes, the router rebooted during the firmware install. However, I had no internet access. To regain internet access I needed to power cycle the router.
