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
this is the same thing I just posted another topic which I'll delete but going back and forth with my wife at home having the issues.
1) Appreciate you all discussing this after that latest firmware in the subject line last month.
- sidenote and opinion... I understand things are always peaches and cream but Netgear failed briefly by taking this long and still not fixing it because....
2) .... we just downloaded the next firmware upgrade and same issue of "page not found" and then it loads up. It's not that big of a deal to me but my wife is working with Quickbooks at home for her job and it's ****'ing up something.
She has done the current client fix with the Chrome browser and Firefox but doesn't know how to mess with the router so I'll do that when I get home.
Community = A+ Thank you
Netgear = C- (Seriously people, I love my Nighthawk but let's get the customer service up to par)
I have been trying to get this fixed this end of July 2021, the best firmware is ending in 75 , 80 or 82 has same problem server not found, if you don't want to roll back to 75 then you can change DNS server for google server which will stop issue but not a fix just a work around see picture good luck, factory reset and all other options have been tried nothing works.
does anyone know if this problem with last two firmware update ending in 80 and 82 has anything to do with certificate expiring on 9/30/2021 yesterday which causes numerous older devices not to connect to internet properly ? it was all over internet yesterday and it was said no fix for renewing certificate last time this happened was around 1980, they said lots of problems for devices older then 2017 ?
I guess no one has heard of any updates to fix DNS issues ????????????? still using firmware ending in 75 , firmware ending in 80 or 82 has same problems have tried them numerous times , trying to decide to buy another router or not ?
Monkeywrench I'm still waiting on a fix as well. Unfornately I'm still in wind as well. No Updates so far.
