Yeah, every time I loose power which is a lot here in florida ( lightning) when the router comes back I go stray to advance settings>vpn and just hit apply and im up and running again, not ideal but it keeps everything going and i need the vpn because of my security camera system setup

As I need to pay for support, contacting Netgear is not am option. Until I find a better solution or a working version of firmware is released I will run with VPN disabled. One of wich may be rolling back a version, which with the security issues that leaves open is a risk, and is against the company guidance for home working.
Yes the same VPN symptoms here it's very repeatable, but the power outages are not frequent. I will run with no VPN until a solution is found. With next to no mobile signal having working phones and Wi-Fi calling is more important than the VPN.
My router reports this, but the firmware is not available today at the Netgear site; only 1.0.6.138.
I prefer to first download the update firmware from Netgear before updating my router.
I am hesitant to update my router via the Internet.

That's a GUI version update. Something that probably comes from NG auto update services. Nothing that users can manually apply. Standard FW version and files are all that's users can do for manual updates. This update should only change the GUI version, not the main FW version. Would be interesting to see if it does.
