FVS318G Latest firmware major issue

Greetings Netgear Gods,
I upgraded several of my FVS318G devices to the latest firmware, 3.1.1-18, and since then no internet websites will resolve! I have lan to lan vpns configured and they are working but local web browsing and pinging out doesn't work?! I've made no changes other then the firmware upgrade and I wish I hadn't done it to 3 devices at the same time without thoroughly testing it out as I now will have to drive a 5 hour round trip to replace the devices as I cannot revert to the old version....


Please help if you can before I hit the road, Thank you!

First, I don't know why but my thread got double posted, sorry mods but if you can whack the other I'd appreciate it.

The good news is my road trip has been canceled as I found that I was able to downgrade the firmware back to the 3.1.1-14 by downloading the file from this site thank goodness. I always keep the old config files but it wouldn't load them due to being in a different version I guess. But there is something wrong with the latest version for sure as it affected every firewall I upgraded. I went through every setting and there's nothing different in the gui that could be found from the prior version to the new. I find it strange that it hooks up with the ISP and create solid vpn tunnels but won't pass any other traffic..

How do you perform the downgrade of the firmware on the FVS318G?

The same way you upgrade.
