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 noticed today that version 1.0.4.76_10.1.82 is available.

Try a full on factory reset on the router and setup from scratch before rolling back FW.

Ok, tried what you said did a factory reset started everything over which was a lot with 11 security cameras and just finished and still same problems lots of websites saying server not found will not connect on lots of websites , now have to roll back to version 75 and remove version 82, and 80 is also the same issue going back to 75 everything works fine , two hours of wasted time.
Netgear did not update the 8300 FW. Netgear Engineering had stated that they had a fix for the DNS issue on the 8500/8300. I expect to them to call me to test it tomorrow.
There is no need to do any resets for the DNS issue. Total waste of time. If i had to do a reset and setup from scratch everytime I updated firmware, i would smash the NETGEAR with a hammer.
