Not always a reliable guide.
It can miss things like this:
R8000P Firmware Version 1.4.1.82 - Hot Fix | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Always better to visit the support pages for your device.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.Will try that... Appreciate ya pointing me to the Hot Fix.
Reading the notes... I do not think this update will fix the issue... Maybe I will get lucky... From a cyber security standpoint... The web login page should not even be accessible at all from outside unless Remote Management is specifically enabled. That in and of itself opens the router up to an attack which eventually could succeed.
