Nighthawk R800P 1.4.2.84_1.3.42
When I updated to 1.4.2.84_1.3.42 I had trouble accessinmg most web sites. Is there a current form of Firmware that actually works? I am put off by Netgear not dealing directly with me on this beca...
Yes it did. But I get prompts to upgarde that just tempt me.
Greetings jhwy ,
Downgrade to 1.4.1.68.
I've thoroughly tested 1.4.2.84 update from unmodified 1.4.1.68, with and without IPv6 enabled/disabled. Its flawed. DNS resolution is broken. Don't waste your time.
Wait for a hotfix or for the next release.
Thanks. I think that update came out last August and they still haven't fixed and they don't tell people about the flaw. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh
Could someone give me quick instructions on how to upgrade firmware/downgrade?
Pretty simple.
You download the firmware you'd like from the support site and extract it.
then follow the manual firmware update process but use the firmware you downloaded.

(to get older version go to the downloads section for the router, then click on "+view previous versions")
