WNR2000 V4 modem router displays "Please wait a moment" continuously at login
Router Firmware Version V1.0.0.50 Web browser: Firefox 98.0.2 (64-bit) When I try to log in to the router, the screen always displays "Please wait a moment." This never changes. Today, tryin...
I don't know what browser you tried upgrading your router with, but I suggest you using Microsoft Edge in attempting to apply that firmware upgrade. I think there's bugs with other browsers when trying to upgrade from a browser.
Go to the netgear.com website under support and then type the model number of your router and see if there's a more up to date firmware. You can apply it manually also, just download the latest firmware and apply it on the GUI on the router page.
I should have mentioned that I had checked the Netgear support options and had tried the methods that were suggested. I am able to navigate to Advanced/Administration/Firmware Upgrade; but when I click "Check," the "Please wait..." message displays and never changes.
I had also downloaded the upgrade file and tried the Upload method. As before, the "Please wait..." message displays and never changes, no matter how long I wait.
Thank you,
Richard

Your subject says " WNR2000 V4 modem router". It isn't a modem.router. Just a router.
So what modem/gateway sits between the router and the Internet?
Is the WNR2000V4 in router or AP mode?
You do realise that the "new" firmware for this device is five years old?
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much.
