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 ...
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 …..

Yes. I saw that. It is why I suggested that the first place to look for help is with Apple.
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.
Just another user with time on their hands.
- Argh … so I sent it to the Netgear community to see if anyone else had run into it …. The Mac updates just canned out yesterday ….
So James gave me some suggestions …
As per other questions -
I am on the latest firmware
And I do not think it is an issue what Netgear as I pointed out earlier

It is an unreliable test if you used the Nighthawk app or a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI).
They can miss updates, especially when you are a long way behind the latest.
The best way to check is to look at the GUI or the Router Information page in the Nighthawk App and check the firmware version reported there. Then visit the support pages for your device and to look at the library of available updates. There may be a newer version there.

Feed in your model number and look for firmware for your device.
The release notes should also tell you how to manually update the firmware.Or read this:

From the messages here there is no sign of "MAC SITES BLOWING UP EVERYWHERE". So far, you seem to be the only victim. Maybe a few more people need to apply the "rogue update".
