    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
