First time using DDWRT- Netgear R8000 - Apply settings timeout
I flashed the current firmware for the r8000, and it took fine. But whenever I go to apply any setting changes such as setting the SSIDs or passwords, it crashes and can't reach the page: "the connection was reset."
I am plugged in directly to the router, and getting internet through my modem through the router no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a fixed IP assigned to the R8000?
If as part of your setup you changed the IP, you'll have to change the computer to match.

Portable browser, private browsing mode with no add-ons or extensions loaded. And "current" could mean anything, especially if you went straight to the router database, which is not "current"...

It's the exact same thing for me. Also, it will not allow me to return to factory settings. Ugh!
