Just a warning, this point release has a breaking change for a bunch of devices (ipq40xx: MR8300, EA8300, EA6350, and maybe more).
The result is a soft brick of the router if you try to upgrade.
The fix has been released in master and branch 22.x but there is NO official stable firmware with the fix currently.
The faulty firmwares are still up (4 days currently)
IMHO, the handling of this is pretty bad as the bug was known beforehand, there was a fix or a rollback fix but none was taken into account.

- The_SamminAter 3y agoAnother warning, I’ve noticed that this update breaks the adblock package. Not as significant, but annoying on Netgear hardware that’ll (soft-)brick itself if you reflash it with a different or lower version.
