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 ...

Followed suggested procedure. After install did a shutdown / powerdown and powerup. Next I tried restart from Web Admin page.
None of the symptoms I saw with 6.2.1 final have emerged so far. So I think this 6.2.2-RC1 is working properly and fixes the "LAN instability/sluggishness" mentioned in this thread's title. Thanks to everyone involved for providing the fix at such short notice!
One point of attention, that I think I already mentioned somewhere in this thread, when I did a re-install of the OS 6.2.1 via the Reset+PwrOn/boot menu. In the Web Admin, the timer bar for re-establishing the connection runs out before the update is fully installed. This also happened when following the 6.2.2-RC1 installation instructions above.

I get a "Connection Lost" message as depicted below, when on the front display of the RN, the message "booting" is still visible. When the front display show the OS version 6.2.2, a simple reload of the page will bring back the Web Admin page. So the connection lost message pops up too soon. That might confuse users and make them want to do a manual reboot, while actually the installation is succesful. It just toke a bit longer then expected.

UPDATE 2014-12-24: Saw the update 6.2.2 (final?) and installed it. No network issues at first glance. Can still connect and no escessive blinking on the switch.
But did get the Connection Lost error message again as described above. For me the Device Offline timeout would need to be aprox. 30 seconds longer, to avoid this issue.
