Hi Hrabcakm,

 

Interesting to hear about you having the same random "site not found" problem with your R8000. I am certain that it is a Netgear firmware issue rather than an ISP issue as my ISP has been stable for as long as I can remember.

 

I am not holding my breath with Netgear fixing bugs as Netgear has a bad history on average, out of every 5 firmware releases there will likely to be only 2 stable versions. Disappointing as new firmwares are suppose to fix security issues but they tend introduce more annoying bugs.

    I asked earlier whether the firmware version I just received was faulty, V1.04.76_10.1.82.

     

    No one answered. I guess now I know. I see problems going back some months with firmware being rolled out. I even had trouble connecting here. ;-) I don't know which is the bigger annoyance scrolling back to less secure version of the firmware or refreshing everything a 100 times a day. Let's hope someone at Netgear will endeavor to fix the problem
