Have you tried enabling IPv6 first?
Try that.
If that doesn't help, then try downgrading firmware.
You simply downgrade it from the support site, extract it, and then follow the manual update process but use the older firmware you downloaded.
There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
