The problem began with the firmware auto update. The version prior to that, I personally had no problems. The problem with reaching out directly to Netgear support, is running into a support paywall when trying to get actual support, wherein Netgears own update breaks the router and now you have to pay them to send you firmware and experiment on it to fix it.

It has been and is a well known issue and at this point, i dont understand why netgear has issued an emergency ground stop to any RS700 firmware updates automatically to prevent further failures?
Did you get some beta FW from NG support or Engineering?
