Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2021 That's what I mean, you upgraded, you had the issue, then you went back to the firmware that worked but it didn't work anymore indicates its not a firmware specific issue. You could try reinstalling the firmware using TFTP which bypasses the boot process and any issues there, than factory reset https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP?article=000059634 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to mention that the firmware I have before was .56, when I reinstall with TFTP using V2.2.1.10, somehow it retained some settings that I changed before erasing it to factory default, ex. 70% on congestion control, I thought that I was going to be greeted by the set up page.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 14, 2021 It's not a firmware specific issue then, .56 was used for quite awhile and was quite stable. I think you will need to experiment with QoS settings and forcing different servers with the Geo-Filter. Some people have had success severely throttling their connection or by lowering their MTU quite a bit, there are a few topics on the forum if you want to try.
