Can you please advice:
- If Netgear is working on another update i.e. 6.6.2?
Though I don't work for Netgear, they are planning to start an open 6.6.2 beta shortly. This first beta appears to be focussed on AV, though there might be some other fixes I guess. There's a lot of competing threads on AV, so it is hard to follow. But here's the post that talks about the beta:

Hi,
Engineering has identified a cause for the issues reported on the community. The root cause is that ClamAV uses up the /tmp directory space when scanning files transferred over SAMBA. The symptom is especially acute in models that have small RAM and low CPU bandwidth.
A possible fix has been identified and is being tested.
There may be other issues. Engineering is still in the process of investigating.
NETGEAR may release a beta version of the software next week here on the community site.
Thank you for your patience,

The changelogs for beta generally don't reach to specific modules - they just identify the fixes, any known issues, etc.
Hello Netgear,

How long is a piece of string?...
When a production release comes out depends greatly on how a beta goes. It's hard to give an ETA for a firmware release. We have internal goals but those can shift if unexpected issues are encountered.Hi all,
Just checking in to see if you've come across any potential solution for this intractable problem.
Antivirus is now 3 weeks out... and the problems still exist.
Do you think a reset would resolve this? And if I reset, will it reset to 6.6.1 or...?
Thanks.

The 6.7.0 FW is expected to be released and solve those issues!
