I like how the title of this thread says "solved". Absolutely not solved.
I'm actually not sure it's heat related. It doesn't get that much hotter than 75° where my router is, but regardless, it will drop at night when it's cool or during low use periods. I think it's just a defective product that Netgear doesn't want to admit to.
I believe it's both heat related and software related. This issue wreaks of memory leaks in it's behavior.
I will say at least they are still working on the issue and I feel like they feel it’s solvable. Otherwise there would have been a V3 or they’d stop selling it.
