What NG router model are you referring too?
Factory reset the router and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser at 192.168.1.1
I am using a router Netgear Nighthawk RAX40 ver1 that i updated manually with latest firmware RAX40-V1.0.5.104_1.0.1.img. I am use to do that, i updated routers a 1000 times but this one after being upated, the webgui refuse to grant access. The login windows appear, when entering admin and password and clicking on enter it pop over and over indefinitly asking again a login and a password. I did around 10 different version or reset, 7 seconds, 10 seconds, a little more too and ll the reset of course after the router was iddle and totally on like after 3 or 4 minutes minimum powered on with all green light. Then i tried using tftp without succes like 10 times trying some little variations. I am not sure what to do next. If you could help me please.
Try a 30/30/30 reset with the router?
What browser are you using? Try MS Edge or Firefox?
Try with the router disconnected from the ISP modem.
No, it never worked.
I have like 5 other router from different company that did that too among the lots of routers.
If other routers are doing same thing, then you might check your PC and browser for issues. Try a different PC and web browser.

Not sure what that is saying but if a lot of routers do the same thing that is a strong suggestion that the Netgear router is not the source of the problem.
Did you ever tell people what the modem/gateway/ONT is that sits between all of these routers and the Internet?
