Netgear Nighthawk AX6 AX 4300 ADVANCED Settings.

Good afternoon, I am seeking assistance from you knowledgeable guys.  

 

Ok here goes, When i log into my routers settings utilizing the 192.168. and i get into the main section, On the upper left corner of the admin page there are 2 options, one is BASIC and the other is ADVANCED. 


For some unknown reason now, it won't allow me to get into the ADVANCED section. 


This was not the case a week ago. Can someone advise please?

 

firmware is up to date.  FIRMWARE VERSION V1.0.5.106-2.0.70

What browser are you using? Try a different browser, FireFox or Opera? 

Is this Windows or Mac?

Does it happen on a windows device or android device (through the browser)?

Not an issue, I can definitely try that but, last week it worked fine with the same computer.

Many people have this problem and there are many threads discussing the problem and workarounds. For example:

Netgear appears to not have the resources to look into, or fix, this problem.

  1. Hey DMitch, it appears that DarrenM (Senior Netgear Mod) has a Trial firmware fix, what are your thoughts? 

  2. I have to admit that I am a bit confused. Why a Trial Firmware?

I don't have the spare time to be Netgear's beta tester. I'll install it when it's an official release.
