Ok 5-23 I decided to have another go at 6.138 and this are my findings in my case:
did the upgrade and then factory reset, after that turn of and unplugged the router and modem and turn off PC
turn on following the procedure posted before and everything seem to be working fine until I activated the DDNS service and the VPN service, that's when it went back to could connect but no internet. I usually configured the VPN to access local network only but for some reason it blocks the whole router internet connectivity, configured to allow local network and internet and voila everything is working fine. another thin worth noting is that under Advanced- Security- schedule for some reason everything is selected to block connection for everyday 24hours I unchecked all of them and so far everything is working flawless
Following Ivan813 note about VPN being related to the DNS issue, toggling the VPN off on recovers the network until a router power cycle, the only way this software is usable is to disable VPN.
I will run without the VPN and see if the network stays up, as we have VoIP phones no network = no phone.
Please Netgear fix this firmware, its not a cheap router, it's a pity it's crippled by bad firmware.
Yeah, every time I loose power which is a lot here in florida ( lightning) when the router comes back I go stray to advance settings>vpn and just hit apply and im up and running again, not ideal but it keeps everything going and i need the vpn because of my security camera system setup
Try using a UPS for the router?

I will run with no VPN until a solution is found. With next to no mobile signal having working phones and Wi-Fi calling is more important than the VPN.
