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.
1.0.4.28 is fine for all devices except for the ones connected through a R7000 set up as brdige. These devices cannot get IP addresses from the R8000, so I rollledback to 1.0.4.18. I have not tried turned on tri-band smart connect though.
You better create a NEW thread for your problem. This one is not for the latest version of F/W and is ALSO marked SOLVED. No one might look at this.
In addition, detail your setup. Routers are either in ROUTER mode or ACCESS POINT mode. I assume you mean the R7000 is acting as a ROUTER and the R8000 is in AP mode?
Smart Connect has nothing to do with IP Address of the R8000 which I assume is what you are reporting?
