Dear Ace88:
Welcome to the Netgear Community.
I also have a RN314 and my firmware update from OS 6.6.0 to 6.6.1 only took about 5 minutes and the unit rebooted cleanly immediately after that.
That said, I have had instances where the 314 was stuck in the booting mode for quite awile. I was able to clear it by forcing the unit to power off by holding in the power button until the unit turns off. I unplugged the electric cord for about a minute and then reconnected it which instantly starts the unit. At that point, the unit did reboot cleanly.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
David

So I started by disconnecting ethernet cables from the NAS (like in this topic, my NAS is set with static IP as well). However this not helped. Afterwards I did what you suggested dschwartzer and this did the trick. Thank you.
