Attempting to setup (old) RBR50, unsuccessfully

[jneun]

Attempting to setup an RBR50 that I purchased over a year ago.  Initial setup appeared good.  Now unable to access Advanced tab (via either Orbilogin or IP address directly).  Additionally, firmware is 1.3.2 series.  Can't update since I can't get to the Advanced tab.  Tried a Factory reset and wind up back to same state.  Any suggestions welcome before the big trash can in the back yard.  Thank you.

Vaguely remember this happened under some conditions. Any Internet "security" stuff intercepting the Web traffic probably?

I hope some Netgear moderator like @Dustin_V  has some more ideas for the recovery, so a newer firmware image can be installed.

That would be expensive trash - try a different browser to start with.

I have tried the three browsers I have on the PC.

My apologies. I thought I tried w/ the AV off. I turned off the AV and was able to access the Advanced tab and subsequently update the firmware.  Thank you for your help.

Might consider updating to v2.5.1.8 at some point.

Agree.  My issue was getting the ability to apply the updates.  I've since taken the router and satellite to the level you suggest.

You should be caught up now. 

Enjoy.
