MacOS 15.0.1 update causes issues with router
I have a Netgear 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi Router.
I upgraded my MacBook today to 15.0.1 - and when it attempted to connect to the network after the upgrade, it was blocked which is really odd. So I do have the router set to block any NEW access requests - but the MacBook already has access (or so I thought) -- so not sure what happened. But either Netgear or Apple have some technical issues. Additionally - I also cannot log into the 10.0.0.1 admin console -- each time I do ... I get a prompt to reset the router by first entering the serial number and then resetting the admin passwords and security questions. I have done this 6 times in the last two hours to try to get my network functional again. SO -- SOMEONE IN NETGEAR SHOULD LOOK AT THIS AS THERE ARE GOING TO BE MAC SITES BLOWING UP EVERYWHERE BASED ON APPLE ROGUE UPDATE.

You updated your Mac and you think Netgear has caused this? Do you have any evidence that the router caused it?
Which router are we talking about? AX1800 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.
Additionally - I also cannot log into the 10.0.0.1 admin consoleThat hints at another issue. By default your Netgear router will squat on 192.168.1.1 as the local IP address.
It goes for 10.0.0.1 if it spots another router between t and the Internet.
So what is the modem/gateway/ONT that connects you to the Internet?

If it was a router thing I'd expect to see a torrent of messages here. So far you seem to be the only victim.
Have you seen this?

- Wow - you must be having a real crappy day ….
So thanks - some good bits here amongst the angst
So I am not saying this is a Netgear issue - on the contrary / I raised the point it is an Apple issue … but whatever
Hope today goes better for you …..

It is hard to know what you expect Netgear to do to fix it. I just explained what I would do in your circumstances.
I also reported back that we had seen no similar messages.
Did you manage to work out which Netgear device you own?
Did you find out what it is that connects you to the Internet?
If it is a modem/router, for example, that could screw up the way that the Netgear router handles addresses that you throw at it.
So those questions aren't there just fir the hell of it.
It almost certainly isn't relevant, but another standard question is the firmware version running on your anonymous router.
Thanks for the thought, but I'm having a fine day. I even managed to survive an update to Windows this morning.

If the device was working along with the router before your device was updated, then we can presume your device would be the issue. Not the router.
Only apple device you have? Try a different apple device to compare?
What browser are you using? Safari? Try a different browser? Firefox or Opera do same thing?
Be sure to clear out any browser caches before trying to enter into the routers web page?
