No internet access after installing firmware update 1.0.4.18
Soon after installing firmware update 1.0.4.18 on my Nighthawk R8000 webpages failed to load from all connected clients
My ISP tested my internet service and no issues where reported

I installed the latest firmware update V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 and enabled standard parental controls and so far so good internet is working fine
The update did fail to install a few times over wifi but I got it to sucessfully install after I turned off my nighthawk wifi extender EX7300
I updated from V1.0.4.18_10.1.49 to V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 and noticed I had to enable the smart connect feature again after the update got installed
Other issues are reported on this thread that I didn't experience
I opened this discussion for internet access issues with V1.0.4.18_10.1.49 and after I installed the latest firmware V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 my internet access issues (with standard parental contols enabled) seem to be fixed.
Update firmware and now i get dropped every 5min. These units are junk. nothing i do fixes the problem. shame on Netgear for releasing this before it was ready. wasted almost 300.00 on this thing.

I understand the frustration.
Just a few questions that I would like to ask
1. What are the model of router and what fw version did you upgrade to?
2. Did you try to factory reset the router manually after flashing to new fw?
3. If so, can you get to router interface with its IP address 192.168.1.1?
4. Can you manually disable unnecessary feature(s), ie traffic meter, DLNA, parental controls, and stuffs that you don't really need, and then reboot the router to see how it works?
Just mere suggestions, and you can ignore if you like to.
