MacOS 15.0.1 update causes issues with router

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 console
That 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?
SO -- SOMEONE IN NETGEAR SHOULD LOOK AT THIS AS THERE ARE GOING TO BE MAC SITES BLOWING UP EVERYWHERE BASED ON APPLE ROGUE UPDATE.
Have you asked for help in the Mac world?
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 …..
