    I recommend you downgrade back to an older firmware, and once that's complete, upgrade to the latest version again. To do th:

    1. Download this firmware: https://kb.netgear.com/000059151/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-3-2-22
    2. Go to http://routerlogin.net/adv_index.htm
    3. Go to Administration then Firmware Update
    4. Now upload the firmware you downloaded on step 1
    5. Wait for installation to complete
    6. Now try going to routerlogin.net like normal - does Settings load now?
    7. Hopefully it does, if so, got Administration then Firmware Update, and then install the latest firmware: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/XR500.aspx#Firmware%20Version%202.3.2.32

    If that does not fix the problem then there are two other possible causes I can think of:

     

    - You have an adblocker/security/firewall extension preventing it from loading. Could you try temporarily disabling it to see if that fixes your problem

    - You are using an incompatible browser. Try using Chrome or Firefox (if you're not already) to see if that solves it

      Hello,

       

      thank you for your assistance. much appreciated

      before I downgraded / upgraded the firmware I tried disabling the adblocker

      this allowed me to see the settings menu in dumaos

      as a precaution I downgraded / upgraded the firmware as well

      I have now setup an exclusion in the adblocker and all seem to be working ok

       

      however I still have a concern that the settings and process manger rapps still have a play button beside their names where all the other rapps have a pause button

       

      any suggestions

        That's great news that you found the problem.

         

        Don't worry about the play/pause icon. That's the default way we present it.
