R8000 - Have to load every page 2x after installing V1.0.4.74_10.1.80
I updated my R8000/X6 to V1.0.4.74_10.1.80 yesterday. Now when i go to many websites (e.g this one) I first i get 'site not found' then i refresh the page (F5) and it loads. I tried firefox, Chrom...
This sounds like a problem I had, Try this:
Go to into routeradmin pages go to advanced home and note the dns entries.
Go to windows control panel and click on ‘Network and sharing centre’
Click ‘change adaptor settings’. DoubleClick the ethernet/wifi adaptor and click properties,
highlight Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) click properties:
Click ‘use the following DNS server address’ and enter dns numbers in the ‘preferred dns server’ and alternative server boxes.
It seems that Netgear may have somehow screwed up the dns settings as well as removing the remote settings page.
Hope this helps
I agree that the solution to change adapter settings on the client is only a work-arround but at least it fixes some annoying glitches in services on my PC. Not even sure i can do this on ALL my devices....
The error I got was indeed DNS related.
The weird thing is that my browser first gives this error, then it often auto-reloads and works. Services like Teams, AWS, OneDrive, etc.. behave a bit erratic as sometimes the connection works and then it stops
Still hoping Netgear will come with a real fix of this apparent bug.
At least better to know that it was indeed a Netgear problem...

For me most of the time it did reload, but sometimes it did not. I rolled back firmware quickly, so i do not know how it would affect the clients on my network. DNS issues can be very bad for alot of apps. My wife works from home and cant have her with issues because i will not hear the end of it. And i cant troubleshoot her issues when i am not there.
For now, i am running a FW that has security flaws. I do not like this. I am not happy.
