Nighthwk X6 R8000 V1.0.4.58_10.1.72 firmware update causing frequent disconnects

Again Netgear releases an update that consistently causes dropped internet connections. Anyone know of a hotfix or what to do to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance ! M

     did you try a factory reset and manually reinstalling it (not from backup)?

    sometimes old settings carried over can cause issues and if there's issues after a firmware change, thats a reasonable first step. 

    If it doesn't help, you can downgrade the firmware.
