Same thing for me, no web or app access - wired or wireless.

This is a totally unacceptable answer. So now I have to spend my time(very valuable as I'll never get it back) to get a system that was working back working again. I have many DHCP reservations and it is painstaking to reenter them.
Netgear should not be automatically breaking or destabilizing working systems.
What is so difficult about adding an option do disable automatic firmware updates?
I also don't give a crap about their stupid Game Booster. Maybe people should get outside once in a while.
What I care about is having a stable reliable network. Which apparently is not Netgear's priority.

Factory reset and re-load the last saved configuration file if you have one on hand.

Tried on the previous problem, still had issues and you yourself said you have seen issues loading from a backup file.
AGAIN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER!!!. Put in an option to disable auto updates!!!!!!!!!!! Or actually test the releases thoroughly. I guess why do that when you can have your user base test if for free. Actually we're basically paying Netgear to test by purchasing the hardware. Good business plan on their part I guess.
