Intermittent connection problems after v1.0.4.46 firmware update
I updated my firmware to v1.0.4.46 but have been getting strange issues when trying to log on to certain websites.
I often have to click numerous times to get on a site and often on login sites I have issues logging in.
I moved my ethernet cable directly to the Arris SB8200 cable modem and problem seems to be solved but if I run the SB8200 into the WAN connection of the R7900 the problem reappears.
In addition I have used dslreports.com speed test for years is the only thing that fails when directly connected to the SB8200 but that could be a totally unrelated issue.
Is there a later version of the firmware update?
Problem solved. Netgear R7900 sitting in a box ready to be donated to a charity that supplies computer supplies to people in need.
Factory reset should solve the issue for re-use.

A couple things to try.
1. enable ipv6 if you haven't and reboot the router/devices.
2. factory reset the router. Maybe an old setting is causing the issue.
3. downgrade the firmware. Maybe the latest did introduce an issue. You can always downgrade.
I thought the firmware update was to correct security issues. Rolling back to an earlier update seems to defeat the purpose.
I have pretty much had it w/ Netgear's lack of respect for their customers. Next stop is a new routher NOT Netgear.
