R9000 horrible throughput and no telnet nor web interface to reset to another firmware (1.0.5.42)
NETGEAR Router R9000 gives:

Wireless Region :

Well I'll be damned! After trying to fully load the web interface well over 6 hours today, I suddenly find the webinterface loading just fine! I haven't changed anything (there was no way I could). All I did since I last posted, was the

Nothing else was done by me. It now suddenly just loads. Telnet itself still fails, as it should.
After I logged in just now, I got an "updating interface language settings..." progress bar (instead of the original "Please wait a moment..." message with the rotating loading circle...).
I'll keep everything as-is, see if the bandwidth problems are now solved too. I now also have a fresh backup of my settings, so a full reset won't hurt as much 🙂
PS: I hate that the nighthawk app can't backup settings nor upload a new firmware. Seems like a huge miss.
Thanks for now, I'll update any findings I might have.
After you update, did you try a factory reset? that might help the speed issue.
The telnet option has been getting pulled from a lot of netgear devices. If its something you need, you can downgrade the firmware to the prior generation's firmware.
Thanks, yeah I'd like to make a backup of my settings first (there are a lot of them), but I cannot because the webinterface just won't properly load. It's not a configuration error. I guess I'll have to force a hard reset then and set everything up from scratch, including all my rules. Frack 😞 It better work! 🙂
PS: telnetenable2 didn't work either. As confirmed by you guys, telnet can't be enabled any longer in this manner. So I'll let go of that idea 🙂

Glad you got it working and hope it stays that way!
