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.

Yes. I pay Comcast for 120 Mbps. I get 140 wired and 140 wireless when connected via 5GHz to either router or satellite. 2.4GHz is slower, only 90 Mbps.
I was was unaware of a public 2.2 release. I thought the last official release was a 2.1.x.
Sorry, you are right, I was referring to 2.1.2.18.
