What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Hi
Thank you for responding.
I was running the previous firmware version when all this started. Then when I logged into the router I saw there was an upgrade so I installed that today. I then double checked that the upgrade actually installed by checking for upgrades on the router.
I've been connected to the Arris TM804 modem for a few years.
I cleared the Chrome caches multiple times.
And this happens on both Chrome and Edge.

Hello
I'm not sure how to do that. Can you please post some instructions on how to downgrade.
Also what is FW?
Thanks
