I've been running V2.2.0.30-20180221 since March 2 without any signs of instability. No crashes, reboots, or disconnects, and no errors in the log.
I found two issues with this pre-release version and reported them to Netgear.
- The QoS Settings page is missing.
- IPv6 doesn't work at all unless I switch IPv6 Filtering from Secured to Open.
Who can tell me the effects of Open IPv6 Filtering? Does this completely disable the v6 firewall? Or is it less drastic?

With the last public 2.2 release, I found that with 150mbit FiOS, I couldn't do better than about 60mbit literally sitting next to the router. 2.1.0.4 (and 2.0 prior) delivers full throughput consistently.
