R6400 firmware V1.0.1.20_1.0.16 GUI V1.0.1.20_2.1.38.1 Netgear Genie won't log in
So, Netgear support won't talk to me since my router is more than 90 days old... Nice! After the last firmware upgrade, Netgear Genie will not log into OpenDNS for Parental Controls. I can log in...
The older version of Netgear Genie did not help. It was the firmware.
I rolled back the firmware to version 18 and everything works fine.
There is certainly a problem with version 20 firmware.
I also have had problems with the V1.0.1.20 firmware. After I upgraded several weeks ago I started having wireless connection issues with 2 of the devices in our house. My phone, for example, is about 18 months old. It has never had an issue with Wi-Fi. But after the upgrade, I started having very slow service in remote areas of the house. It worked fine if sitting next to the router, but go downstairs and it would fail. Previously it worked anywhere in the house. The strange thing was that the phone would indicate a fairly strong WiFi signal, but data just wouldn't flow. Similarly, my son's laptop was behaving the same way - wireless connection to router, but no internet connection unless sitting in same room. After a couple weeks of frustration it hit me that perhaps the issue was the router firmware upgrade I had done. So I downgraded to V1.0.1.18_1.0.15. Everything is back to working fine on all devices in all areas of the house.
Something's not right with the V1.0.1.20 firmware.
