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
that is the firmware version I have been using for last two months, ending in 75, I tried everything to get version 80 or 82 to work and nothing worked , factory reset, and only thing that worked was roll back to version 75 , but if you change ipv4 to 8888 then both versions 80 and 82 will work because you are using google servers.

You have to change the DNS on EVERY device and NOT the router. You also can't block port 53 which prevents someone from bypassing the router's DNS settings. If it worked on the router then openDNS would work because it's a fixed DNS IP. openDNS doesn't work and neither would Google (8.8.8.8). Just go back to ...75. Much easier and all functions work.
guys I'm glad I'm not the only having this DNS problem after updating firmware. (82) I have to keep refreshing a page twice to get it I hate it!!
what is the solution and how do I go roll back firmware or factory settings??
Mustang_Gears rolling back the firmware is pretty easy. simply download the old firmware, extract it, and then follow the manual update process found in the manual for your device.
thanks, whats the most stable version currently? I downloaded 1.0.4.68_10.1.75
I extracted the file Im pretty I just have to upload it through the site right?

What you call "the site" is probably the browser graphical user interface (GUI) for the router.
Not a site as most people know it but the "control panel" for the router.
Best accessed with a wired Ethernet connection.
How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Remember to unpack the zip file that holds the firmware.
