Unstable after firmware update

You're correct in your options. Its very unfortunate.
If you do downgrade, after its setup, make a backup of the configuration. That way if you do upgrade next time and have issues, you can downgrade back and just restore it. makes it a bit simpler.
One thing I will advise, avoid the .50 firmware. Devices that install that seem to get stuck on it.
Hej
Now have downgrade to V18! Then it is stable and don’t buffer videos, telephone’s etc.
Wife also happy 😊.
But I guess its ton of update that it an improvement especially in the security area.
the .28 is a pretty solid version and has a few bug/product fixes. The newer versions got the netgear armor upgrade and that's when it seemed to cause issues
I always update the router so I thought that had at least V58. But when reinstalled V58 the problem still was there. And I used the 5G for a bridge application. But V28 merge all three band to one single (smart connect). Little confused because as I remember it I had V58.
Waiting for the next version, and testing then.

And never has used the armor feature
Even if you don't use armor, its still built into the firmware on versions newer than the .28 version.
A small portion of routers have issues with the armor and those people I usually refer to the .28.
Best bet if you do update?
factory reset
then install the firmware over a hardwired connection
then factory reset 1 more time and do a clean install (not from backups)
that seems to work for some with the newer version issue.
