after the firmware update, the download/upload status columns have been reversed -- please fix it I'm clearly watching youtube (it means I'm downloading) I'm clearly watching youtube (it means I'm downloading)so don't tell me to check or watch or download a file, I tried everything and I'm sure of it I know it's not a big problem but if it's easy to fix why not fix it, I don't like my things to be messed up Thank you in advance

Hi Aboda7m, I think it has nothing to do with the malware issue. You may try using a different browser. Update the firmware as well. https://kb.netgear.com/000058796/R8000-Firmware-Version-1-0-4-18 Here is the statement regarding the malware issue. https://kb.netgear.com/000058814/Security-Advisory-for-VPNFilter-Malware-on-Some-Routers
