R7900p fR7900P-V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 problems

Updated to new firware V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 . -Having problem when accessing some internet sites, i had to continuisly reload. It seems these site may take longer to respond. Enabled "Airtime Fairness " on wirelwess setting on advanced setup, did not improve the situation. Reinstalled older firmware V1.4.1.68_1.3.28. router works fine with older firmware.

  • 3 things to try. 

    1. try enabling IPv6. That's helped in some instances. 

    2. try factory resetting and reinstalling. sometimes after a firmware update, old settings can cause issues. 

    3. if that doesn't help, try downgrading the firmware a version. some of the newer firmwares caused dns issues.
