I too am experiencing the same issue after upgrading the firmware.

It seems that Netgear have abandoned its customer base and left us to fix things ourselves after their screw up.
A rough and ready workaround for the dns issue is as follows:
Go to into routeradmin pages go to advanced home and note the dns entries.
Go to windows control panel and click on ‘Network and sharing centre’
Click ‘change adaptor settings’. DoubleClick the appropriate ethernet/wifi adaptor and click properties,
highlight Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) click properties:
Click ‘use the following DNS server address’ and enter dns numbers in the ‘preferred dns server’ and alternative server boxes.
This should stop the page not found error
Following your recommendation. What IP address, Subnet mask etc should I be entering to resolve this issue. Thanks
