• What region are you located?
• Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch?

Be sure to clear all browser caches before and after loading or updating FW.
Recommend using IE11 or FF to load FW.

Upgraded today. Slow loading anywhere in configuration. Wireless security won't work... Completely open network.

edit: keeps saying "router not found" when navigating through menu

Just reporting that on my network I have a tplink c2 archer and a tplink c9 archer, both receiving signal from dir-890l. Occurring the firmware that was in the c2 archer was locking the dir-890 on wifi, locking pages loading, locking dhcp and restarting it. It is important to check all the equipment on the network before blaming the dir-890l. Equipment that may be on the tip can cause disruption. Detail that everything happened at random.

Also was told that there is a new feature, NAT seen here with the Beta:
Settings > Internet > Advanced Settings.

Were checking to see what this feature really does. 
Maybe help with two or more game consoles/PCs

NAT button isn't really a feature for most HOME users.

"When NAT is disabled, internet does not work anymore. WAN port becomes useless, unless VLAN is enabled. With VLAN enabled, the WAN port becomes a "trunk" port that will accept max. 3 different VLAN ID as tagged. Then it can be assigned to any LAN port or SSID as untagged."

Ok, confirms what I asked BiPolar Bear to test yesterday. He lost internet yesterday after disabling NAT. I guess that isn't helpful for gaming environments then. 

Thank you for the details on this NAT feature. Maybe something to move under the VLAN feature UI section since it's related to VLAN?
