    Hi tooreck, 

     

    For R8000, firmware 1.0.4.18 is the latest version. Have you tried resetting the router?

Thanks tooreck! very helpful to know others can't do it either. I got frustrated and bought a device that with a remote control, I just cut the power to the router. I don't love the solution because I feel like it's probably not good for the router to just be shut off that way every day but I got tired of f*%&ing with the router settings to try and make that work.
