Error after R7960P Firmware Upgraded to 1.4.2.84_1.3.42

Two weeks ago installed firmware update V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 and I have had nothing but trouble with my internet connection since. I am receiving the same messages with message saying "This site can't be reached" and to check if there is a typo in the address. These are sites I go to many times a day and have never had an issue until now.
I have have my internet company replace the modem and I have no problems using my computer direct to the modem, nor do I have these issues when using other people's networks. The issue is definitely my router.
My question is, how do I uninstall the most recent firmware update and go back to an earlier version? I have done a factory reset on my router and it brings me to the newest firmware update that started this issue.
Thanks in advance

Find firmware R7960P-V1.4.1.68_1.3.28 which is not buggy, downgrading to this version resolves this horrible bug.
At this point we have to consider that Netgear knows about this bug and has left it in place, to do damage every day, wasting people's time. How frustrating must it be for so many people who trusted Netgear...
To what end is Netgear doing this and why?
