R6400v2 AC1750 - firmware v1.0.4.118 and v1.0.4.120 is not suitable for use

The last two software updates (v1.0.4.118 and v1.0.4.120) for R6400V2 are one great tragedy. Problems with opening pages, a problem with downloading several files at the same time.
The only solution was a return to v1.0.4.106.

    Thanks for posting!

    you're not the only one with issues on the latest firmware and the more people that post, the more likely the mods/engineers will see it. 

  • Thank you for your post.  Our two computers started having trouble opening pages recently.  Since it happened on two different computers, I suspected the router.  Our router has the firmware V1.0.4.120_10.0.91.  Additionally, router admin software "Attached Devices" no longer works although the "Access Control" under the "Advanced" tab will show connected devices.

  • In my case, it was very important that after returning to firmware v1.0.4.106 I did a factory reset. Without a reset the router performed better than on the latest firmware but still not as it should be.
    BTW factory reset with firmware v1.0.4.118 or v1.0.4.120 does not help.

  • After loading firmware version V1.0.4.120_10.0.91 I had trouble loading, or fully loading some web pages.  Some pages didn't load at all while Microsoft teams was being used.  I corrected it by deselected anything that had been selected in the QoS setup. Specifically for me the Enable WMM selections needed to be unchecked

  • Same here with R6400v2 on V1.0.4.120_10.0.91

    Every time I'm trying to open wesite I'm getting error that website is unavailable.

    Started after I updated from R6400v2-V1.0.4.106_10.0.80


    This is unaccaptable and must be fixed ASAP, but at this point, I think that netgear dev team just useless and can't fix it, since this error is present for the 2nd firmware version in a row.

     

    I will appreceate any good router recommendation for smart home with 50+ devices.

  • My patience has run out. Goodbye Netgear software, hello (after a few years off) FreshTomato software.
    God bless Shibby.
