update to official V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 breaks normal wifi

I upgraded to V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 and afterwards as expected I needed to reset portforwarding etc etc. However, I find now that I can not connect to the standard 2.4Ghz wifi with any of my devices. I can connect using the Guest network so it's not a question of the allowed devices.

Any ideas?

Netgear should try harder.
