    I haven't had issues in months. Latest firmware (V1.0.3.80_1.0.1) seems fine to me. Turned of Qos Disable AX and smart connect. Not saying this is an option for everyone, but work for me.

    May also help to make sure you are only on one wifi network and Android isn't toggling between 2.4 and 5G. I found my phone was getting stuck on 2.4 and running slow.

    Beta cannot be shared. You just obtain from support.

        Ok then good for you. I was simply saying that it must be obtained through Netgear support and cannot be shared. That’s all part of the user agreement of the beta testing that it cannot be freely shared. So no need to be passive aggressive about it.
