R8000P Latest "breakware"...AGAIN!
Well, here we go again! Folks, do not update this doorstop to 1.4.2.84 without copying down on paper ALL your custom settings and stuff because you will likely need them after you update and hard res...
I eventually had to rollback as well. Strange how I didn't have issues for nearly 6 weeks and suddenly, DNS resolution began faultering.
I tried re-flashing, restoring a back up .cfg created from the original branch, but the behavior continued. I then reset and tested upgrade to 1.4.2.84 from a unmodified flash of 1.4.1.68, same behavior. At this point, I recommend going back or holding at 1.4.1.68
And yes Mr. Guru.....I know what I'm doing and what I am saying. I am not here for some months long discussion of try this, try that, blah, blah, blah. I am here to forewarn poor disfortunates that bought one of these too. Anyone that has ever flashed ANYTHING successfully as many times as I have, knows the procedure and foresteps to take to insure a sucessful flash provided everything is electrically sound and the firmware coder wasn't smoking dope while coding.
Good Luck to you also.
I'm not the type to pile on but Bob is right. I had not issues, but upgraded to the newest firmware for my R8000P as it stated it fixed security issues. and now I get this message from my browser all the time. this is from this forum went I wanted to reply to this post. I have struggled to check if the issue was with browsers, my security, etc. but all comes back to this firmware update.
