Hi utmba95,
Good day!
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the backlog in the system. Upon checking from our system, we don't see any similar issues about the latest firmware. Please update the firmware of the router then reset the router afterward and observe the connection if it exhibits the same issue as before.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Oliver
