It worked fine after the update. Yesterday we had a 5 minute power outage and then Spectrum (in our area) went down for an hour. Now 20 hours later I still can't get the system to work as it did yesterday morning.
The router is plugged into an uninterruptible power supply which provides power line protection for the router so unlikely (not impossible) that is was damaged.
I have not tried a factory reset since that can be quite time consuming to set everything up again even when reusing the same SSID and password.
