Encountered issue with 6.9.2
Been using RN314 for over a year, It has been working fine until this update. Noted that users were having issues with shares previously mounted after a few days, or could not mount them again aft...

Per the IETF RFCs, underscores aren't legal characters in hostnames. Netgear used to allow them anyway, but that behavior was recently changed.
I understand the "Underscore" issue but I have been using it in Unix based systems for about 30 years and It worked fine in the previous firmware 6.9.1 and there was no mention of the changed behavior in the change notes. It would have been nice to know before implementing the new version.
Also that does not explain the other issue of the "swap" space crash and log space rotation issue.
And the fact that group access no longer works after the update, All the group access information seems to be intact and no signs of corruption, it just stopped working.

Actually Netgear started enforcing the RFC character limits last April (in 6.7.1). Are you sure you upgraded from 6.9.1?
I agree it should have been in the release notes (and wasn't).

Understood. I think you'll need some analysis from Netgear on those.
I have been unable to find a way to report the issue of Groups no longer working on 6.9.2 firmware update. Do you have to purchase support to report an issue???
Anybody know how to submit a bug report??
Thanks
