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
I'm having this same issue on the latest firmware for the R8500 Firmware Version 1.0.2.154
Extremely annoying. It effects not only the browser but various apps as well such as Steam, Epic Games Store, etc.
I ended up rolling back to the previous FW version and hope that Netgear gets its ish together.
Just a small update,
It seems that is rolling back to the previous/original FW resolved the issue
It has been a month and Netgear has not fixed it. What are we supposed to do if they dont fix it.
The latest release was to fix security issues. How important are these security fixes?

Give them a couple of weeks and switch to another vendor who provides better support if solution is still not there. Easy...
