Di you factory reset and set up from scratch the router after applying the .84 FW version?

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't reset because I have been using this router for a long time with no firmware issues until now.

Also, I have been using the Armor / Bitware Protection for nearly to years, and again have not had an issue until now.

 

So, I am convenence it's the Firmware: 1.4.2.84. Perhaps it's a get-ready-for-Windows 11 issue.

Many software suppliers are re-writing their apps in preporation for Win 11.

I don't know, and I am running Win 10, not 11. But I've never had a Firmware issue until this version.

 

I'm happy sticking with 1.4.1.68 until ver 84 is fixed.

 

Thanks again for the response,

Bill
