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 have been contacted to test a fix but I am a business trip and cannot download or flash the fix from engineering. So for those waiting, there may be a fix coming out shortly.
thanks for info, I was thinking about a new router but will now wait until next firmware update
to see if issues are fixed from July's firmware ending in 80 update, thanks again.
just installed new version ending in 82 worse then firmware ending in 80 from July , lots of websites coming back sever not found so now rolled back again to version ending in 75 and all is well again , so I guess the problem is not fixed in new version out today ending in 82 , very upsetting.
- Spent a half hour on …82. I see no improvement. I’m back to …75. I would fire my development team if they put into production a product with obvious bugs that can be found in minutes.
current firmware ending in 80 or 82 has the same exact problems, tried both of these updates both caused numerous server not found issues, now rolled back firmware to 75 and issues have stopped again this has been going on since July 29th with no fixes ???????????, I guess it's time for a new router.
