If you're changing firmwares, I'd highly advise doing it over a wired connection.
You *can* do it wireless. but usually when we see a corrupt firmware issue, it tends to be when someones done it via the app or over a wireless connection.

changing firmwares did not solve the issue. as the previous version also does not have a firewall tab under security

Its not about having a different tab. The newer versions got the netgear armor update and not all played nicely.
which version did you downgrade to and did you do a factory reset after the change?

I don't even remember at this point, I tried 2 versions. reset afterwards. I have tried without security and it does the same thing. I have worked at Best Buy for 18 years. The in field agents I asked for help yesterday said this has been an ongoing issues at clients houses. You would think netgear would see this as a problem and update and fix it but I guess once they get your purchase they can just run you around until your 90 warranty is up and tell you to but a 90/year subscription if you want help
