R8000 - Have to load every page 2x after installing V1.0.4.74_10.1.80
I updated my R8000/X6 to V1.0.4.74_10.1.80 yesterday. Now when i go to many websites (e.g this one) I first i get 'site not found' then i refresh the page (F5) and it loads. I tried firefox, Chrom...
This sounds like a problem I had, Try this:
Go to into routeradmin pages go to advanced home and note the dns entries.
Go to windows control panel and click on ‘Network and sharing centre’
Click ‘change adaptor settings’. DoubleClick the ethernet/wifi adaptor and click properties,
highlight Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) click properties:
Click ‘use the following DNS server address’ and enter dns numbers in the ‘preferred dns server’ and alternative server boxes.
It seems that Netgear may have somehow screwed up the dns settings as well as removing the remote settings page.
Hope this helps
Netgear broke their DNS in the latest firmware. They need to fix it.
Manually setting DNS on clients is not a fix. Rolling back to flawed firmware is also not a fix.
Robjak, Has Netgear even acknowledged they have a DNS Problem with their latest firmware?
Hi Robjak
DNS issues are not the only problems with this firmware, the remote setting page is also missing. I posted the dns 'solution' so that people would still be able to open websites, until Netgear issues a correct firmware (hearing pigs revving up for takeoff?)
Okay
