C6300 - Information only - Stuck on "Updating settings" while setting a static IP address

[saint2468]

I encountered the same problem as this article (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/C6300-Reservations-not-working/m-p/2032850/thr...).

Basically, when the web interface appears to hang on "Updating settings" when trying to "Add+" a new static IP address.

After some frustrating online searches and testing, I was finally able to resolve this.

The trick is to just wait (anywhere from 5-25 minutes) and it should get to the next screen.

Although your authentication has timed out, simply re-enter the username/password and you can set your static IP address.

Hope this helps you.

What broswer are you using? Try MS Edge, Firefox or Opera? 

Be sure to clear out any browse caches...

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed yet?

Thanks for your feedback.

I tried using Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and they all had the same effect.

I didn't try clearing the browser cache but then I had never used Firefox and Edge to access the router before.

I didn't do a factory reset since it eventually worked by just waiting.  🙂
