This is happening to me and it's unbelievable. I can turn off router mode and use my other nighthawk but I don't want to because this router was $400 and should work fine.

Yah dude this is UN 👏 AC 👏 CEP 👏 TA 👏 BLE! And of course Netgear comes out with some stupid update that only serves the purpose of milking their consumers for even MORE money for some presumably crappy security system (as if they didn’t already try that bs when I called tech support to fix my device after I followed some bad advice on this forum). NEVER again will I buy another Netgear POS ANYTHING!! I should’ve know they still haven’t gotten their act together from the last time I bought their crappy 802.11n WiFi extenders and network adapters. This company is garbage. They STILL don’t even have this model in their list on this forum.
Btw do NOT change DHCP limit to 100 as I had to hard/factory reset my device from the device (which involved multiple attempts to get the process JUUUST right and scavaging my entire place for a freakin paper clip). 🙄
