RN312 fails to come back up after update to 6.10.0
Just tried to updated RN312 to 6.10.0 via normal procedure (click button in pop-up on admin page). The new firmware was downloaded and I clicked the button to reboot on the second pop-up in the admin page. The RN312 doesn't come back up. The power indicator flashes (blue). Connection to the server is no longer possible, neither trough a browser or terminal software (Putty). I've waited for about an hour, but still nothing happens. Any suggestions on what is the issue and how to proceed?
After waiting for over 2 hours, I decided that the update wasn't going to proceed succesfully. Not sure what is considered normal update duration, but I don't remember it ever taking longer than 30 min.
Eventhough all the warning message advise against it, I took the risk to switch off the RN312. After waiting about a minute, I powered up again. Now I could log in with Putty again. After 10-15 min the admin page became available again with 6.10.0 Hotfix 2 firmware.

So with the large number of people writing posts about the new firmware (which has **bleep**ed my server too).
Can netgear provide an official help guide to how to fix the problem?
I'm using a RN314.
Update procedure for 6.10.0 on RN516 worked without issues and completed in about 25 min.
I did an upgrade to 6.10.0, too. System does not complete bootprocess. Hangs at 89% to 99% showing mysql.service. Is there a way to circumvine starting of mysql? Istn't there a timeout for failing units, especially since I do not use mysqld on the system.
Would be great if an netgear official could sddress the issue.
