Guessing you didn't see this?

 

If you are on a version lower than 1.03.5 please do not upgrade yet. To check the version you are on, scroll to the bottom of any page on your Netduma router's interface. If you choose to upgrade without contacting us you could completely break your router. You will then need to pay for the router to be returned to our office in the UK and then sent back to your home. (NB: the reason for charging you for this potential return is we have not charged for any upgrades (because we love our user community) but we cannot be penalised for people not reading clear instructions).

 

If so then it's probably broken.

 

Can you see the WiFi from the netduma being broadcast?

if so , try connect , password will be netdumar1

 

If you can't see the WiFi broadcast , try connecting through ethernet, then try to access http://r1/or http://192.168.88.1

What would running .4 have to do with anything?

Did you unplug it or something mid upgrade?

If so then it's probably broken.

Hey, i was almost 99% sure i was running .5 but when i went to update, mid update i realized it was .4 for some reason. I did read it. I cannot access the interface nothings working on the netduma. Last night i also pressed the reset button for like 5 minutes but nothing happened. Please if there is something i can do without sending it back please let me know. But lukily i still have my netgear nighthawk x8. But if im going to have to send it back i might aswell just buy a new one

If you can't access it when it is isolated it sounds like it is bricked. 

 

If you read the instructions carefully it says scroll to the bottom of any page on the R1 to check version. 

 

There is no need to buy another one. Sending it back would be a lot cheaper. 

 

Please email [email protected] regarding this issue and we'll give you the necessary info needed :)

 

I will now close this thread, as this can now be taken care of through email. Let me know via PM if you need the thread reopened for any reason.
