Firmware

I have this unit on my NZ fibre installation attached direct to fibre box in house. It has worked well for 2 years. I decided to add ExpressVPN to the router and installed their firmware. Didn't connect to the internet, without internet access how do I uninstall this firmware and reinstall Netgear firmware. Any ideas please.

   At that point, it might be best to ask the ExpressVPN folks.

Thanks for that. I spent 6 hours today on chats with their support folk in BVI. They could not offer any viable solution other than buy another router!! Very frustrating.

I have no idea who BVI might be, but there are various places where you could investigate how to remove ExpressVPN from a device.

 

You sure won't get much help from Netgear. It supports only its own firmware and there are not that many experts in ExpressVPN among the volunteers who try to help out here.

 

Only you know what you did to put ExpressVPN on your router, if that is what you did.

 

Did you try this?
