Downgrading to 2.5.1.16 is the answer.
Netgear *really* needs to give us a UI option to disable firmware updates that persists across reboots.
Actualy if you wait 24 to 48 hours, the system seems to stablize and everything seems to correct itself in the app and GUI, with the exception of maybe a cellphone and camera or 2, which just needs to have the network forget and rejoin routine.
Problem is everyone is impatient and downgrades too quickly.
The better solution would be to manually upgrade to V2.7.0.77. Just remember to update the satellites first, then the router. I upgraded 3 RBK53 systems this morning to 2.7.0.77, with no issues.
I find, after updating, I see better speeds on any ISP over 350Mbps and smoother and faster connections.
I waited three days and it didn't get better.
Downgrade is the only solution that has worked for me.
