- Hi Fraser,
Yes i did that and the router seem to be working fine for now. I flashed version 114 using tftp, did factory rest and then upgraded to 134.
Thanks for the usual support.

Try setting DHCP range from .100 to .200?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
- Hi,
I tried the suggested solution, but the issue persists. The router stayed fine for a couple of days though
My modem is huawei hg8245w5.
I dont remember if i have done mf reset on the firmware.
Any tips ?- Disable DHCP entirely (make sure you've reserved all the IPs) and then it should be better
- Hi Fraser,
Tried disabling dhcp, for some reason it didnt recognize all devices although they have been setup. Re-enabled dhcp again and them couldn’t connect at all to the router.
I did a factory reset and now the router cant boot up . I enter 192.168.1.1 , first time it took me to the license agreement, i accepted it then it got stuck. I used also adv_index but still the same. Did multiple factory resets with no luck. Also turned it off for 10 mins still the same.
I guess the router just died.
