--- Check for updates --- Gives me the following information but I cannot find any info and/or verify it on Netgear website: (just checking if it's legit and safe to execute the install) --- ...
- Looks like this firmware is OK! Never heard from Netgear, but they posted the release notes to their website: https://kb.netgear.com/000063867/R6700v3-Firmware-Version-1-0-4-118
We probably just stumbled on the update a bit before they intended us to.
I am having the same problem on my R6400v2 router. I there a source from which older firmware versions can be downloaded?

How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Thank you! I'm kicking myself for not paying attention to the firmware version that existed on the router before allowing the upgrade. I am hopeful that the previous firmware version available for download (V1.0.4.106) resolves the problem.
Edit: Installing the previous version appears to have solved the problem. No failures in following links to about a dozen sites. My email client hasn't thrown any "failure to connect" errors in two cycles of 5 domains either so I'm feeling pretty good!
