Latest R8000 firmware R8000-V1.0.4.76_10.1.82 - Random "Site Not Found" issues

Hi There,

 

I received a notification of a new firmware (R8000-V1.0.4.76_10.1.82) for R8000 recently. I am currently running R8000-V1.0.4.66_10.1.75 which is very stable.


I know the chequered history of Netgear firmware quality, so I was initially reluctant to upgrade. After thinking about it for 2 days, I decided to give it a shot. Immediately after upgrading, I notice browser (both MS Edge and Firefox) will randomly error with "Site not found". If you refresh it once or twice then the site will load.


It is a strange problem with the latest version of the firmware. I rebooted with it for a couple of days and rebooted the router multiple times. Ultimately, I have to give up and download to the stable version V1.0.4.66_10.1.75.


It is a real shame after so many years, Netgear firmware quality control is just as bad a before. I don't know what else to say. Anyone else have this problem?
