Final 6.2.1 update causing LAN instability/sluggishness
After upgrading to 6.2.1 on an RN314, the network adapters no longer appear in the UI. In general it looks like the network parameters were reset. I can only recover the device by letting my router ...
Like I mentioned earlier: I would not be supprised if you might find that this only occurs for a certain version of some chipset used in certain routers.
The specialized chipsets that router vendors use are likely to come from one of only a few chip manufacturers. So even in different brands of routers, IP traffic might go through the same brand and type of chipset. This is very similar what you find in computers. Two common chipset and CPU brands there are Intel and AMD. These chipsets show up in many brands of computers, as you may know.
So it's up to Netgear to figger out if a common chipset is used in the mentioned makes and models.
But starting with a spefic model, that is known to give problems and you have access to, would also be the approach I would take. The fix that is found for RN connman, in combination that specific router would most likely apply to all makes and models with the same chipset. But I'm making a lot of assumptions here. Let's wait what Netgear comes back with. Meanwhile, use this forum to make sure they don't forget about your brand and model of router, if it is giving issues like the one described in this thread.
So far I have seen these mentioned in this thread as part of a troublesome setup:
DrayTek 2130Vn
Motorola SB6580
AVM Fritz!Box 7360
AVM Fritz!Box 7240
AVM Fritz!Box 6360 cable
If there are other routers with the same issue, I suggest you join this thread to let Netgear know.
