You can return the router to its factory settings. Use the end of a paper clip or a similar object
to press andhold the Reset button on the back of the router for at least seven seconds.
The router resets and returns to the factory configuration settings shown in the following table.
NOTHING CHANGE AFTER RESET

This will be my last netgear product, had the same sh*t with an R7000, now with the R7800, I'm sick of it!
Easy fix. Don't use Netgear firmware. Install DD-WRT and you'll be so much happier. I certainly am.
