I recommend that you leave the DHCP IP address pool range set to a smaller range. You don't have to use the default range. I personally never use the factory range on any NG router. Also this provides room for static IP addressed devices as well. I use .100 to .150 as I only have around 30 devices. Plenty of room for additional devices if and when that happens.
We hope so, however don't have that info.

Did you factory reset the router and setup from scratch after loading the FW?
What browser are you using?
Be sure to clear out browser caches before entering the routers web page.

i tried the hard button reset on the back, held for ten seconds. it rebooted the router but saved info was still there, then i did the factory erase option(think that is what its called) and that did reset it. so long answer is yes. I have also tried both chrome and edge

You may need to downgrade back to .130, factory reset, then upgrade to .134 and don't reset. That'll fix it for you.

WIth v.130 applied, I applied v.134 over the top then used the ERASE fuction to factory reset the router. Used MS Edge to set up the router and walked thru the setup wizard.
I recommend clearing out all browser caches prior to walking thru the setup wizard.
The "Device not found" message appears on the QoS page:
Wired speeds are to spec:
Connection Test is working however the download doesn't reflect what external speed test app says:
Something I noticed this morning, I had used the top WiFi enable/disable button yesterday to turn OFF the wifi radios. Left them OFF over night. I looked over this morning and found the 5Ghz radio enabled LED on the front of the router this morning. I used the button to enable the radios, then agian to disable the radios, both LEDs turned OFF. I'll check this again later.
