RAX48 "Advanced Config" page inaccessible on safari browser
Upon upgrading to latest firmware "Firmware Version V1.0.5.106_2.0.70" on my RAX48 router, I am unable to access "Advanced " configuration of my router from my macbook using safari brower. Upon ...
Same problem here on RAX45 with V1.0.5.106. Firefox doesn't work for me, under Linux. Safari & Chrome doesn't work either, tried these under iOS. Will try a firmware downgrade...
FYI, downgrading my RAX45 to firmware V1.0.4.100 resolved the issue for me.
Just FYI, to downgrade without the Advanced tab working, I was sent the following link by Netgear customer support and I was about to try this flashing method using a linux desktop using the "tftp" command: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
BUT, as soon as I connected my linux desktop to a wired port of the router and ran the latest version of Chome, as luck would have it I found that the Advanced tab actually worked using this browser version. So I just used the "Router Upgrade" option in the Advanced menu to install the older firmware from a file (instead of the convoluted method described at the URL above).
I also had to find the older firmware images on the Netgear website (will be in a different location depending on your router model).
Also I will note that once I got the router configured to my liking via the Advanced tab, I went ahead and upgraded to V1.0.5.106 again, just to make sure the latest security patches are installed.
