Did you try a factory reset prior to the downgrade?
Anytime there's issues after a firmware change, thats the first step I recommend.
I did try a factory reset with my router before downgrading the firmware along with rebooting my router multiple times and rebooting my devices to see if that would fix this issue with Mozilla Firefox. Unfornatelety none of those troubleshooting steps worked. This is clearly an issue with this new firmware as I have run into absolutely no issues with mozilla firefox since downgrading my firmware.
was the issue only on Firefox?
Or did other browsers have the issue as well.
Just Firefox for me. But it's the only browser I regularly use so I can't speak for other browsers.
This is happening for me in all browsers and I'm having weird connection issues in games. In minecraft the game randomly says I'm no longer authenticated when logging in. Though no one is having connection issues to my server. This is on a wired computer.
A wireless device on the network has to restart the computer every time I reset the router otherwise they have no connection even with it saying they're connected.
Update:Factory reset did not fix the issue. Going to revert to the previous update
