Problem after firmware update
After updating to the latest firmware, I'm having trouble loading many websites. The browser window says it can't connect, but after pressing "try again" a couple of times the website finally loads. No trouble prior to the firmware update. Any ideas?
Nighthawk X6S R7900P
Original firmware at start: V1.4.1.82_1.3.40
Upgraded to: V1.4.3.88_1.3.50
Windows 10

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Did you factory reset and setup from scratch after the last FW update?
Try enabling IPv6 on the router...

Thanks FURRYe38,
The switch to IPv6 seems to have resolved the issue. If the problem resurfaces I'll repost, but for now all appears to be well.
Thanks again 😁

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
