RAX50 running V1.0.10.110 and AdvancedTab is visible but does not work with any combination of ipad/iphone and browser that I can find. Advanced Tab is only works from my windows laptop. I did a hard reset of router and multiple reboots of all devices but not working. Any suggestions?
This has been broken since version 1.0.5.106, late last year. There are a number of other threads on this bug on this forum (see below). I was really hoping that this new update would solve the problem, but it doesn't. I have gone though official channels to NG to report the bug and get it fixed, to no avail.
My experience: the Advanced tab cannot be accessed using any browser in iOS or iPadOS. It cannot be accessed using Safari in MacOS. It can be accessed using Firefox on MacOS. Firefox on Mac is my workaround (it's how I updated to version 110).
i personally think that this is an inexcusably long time to have such a significant bug out in the field. I will never buy another piece of Netgear hardware.

Given the fact that the oldest FW version in Netgear's site is 1.0.5.106, and that that version also has the bug we're talking about, Netgear has made it quite difficult to revert to a working version. Not to mention the fact that the bug prevents access to the router's admin page that allows you to load a FW version from a file.
You are right, I missed that disclosure triangle. Anyway, I am unwilling to skip the recent security fixes so I'll just stay with the latest version with a broken UI.
Please send @DarrenM a PM and ask about a beta that maybe available. Seems that this was fixed for the RAX45 in a beta so there maybe one for the RAX50.
I am uneasy using beta firmware in something as critical as a WiFi router, particularly when there have been security fixes released recently. I'm curious: why didn't the fix that's in the beta make it into the new firmware (1.0.10.110) which rolled out this week?
NG doesn't post or share if or when new FW updates will be forth coming.
NG has made fixes to what is broke with the Advanced tab and was confirmed in the RAX45 thread that the beta they got fixes the Advanced Tab menu issue. Either try it or you have to wait for the next FW to be released to the public. No idea when this will happen. So don't ask.
