    You will have to contact telstra to see if they can update it.

        Hi tark,

         

        Could you please state the PRI version, FW version, IMEI? We can check whether the device contacted our Netgear server.

         

        Thanks

      Thanks for the solution.  I am from Malaysia with local simcard and unable to update the firmware, and no manul upgrade option available with existing old firmware.  I just change the APN back to default telstra.internet, reboot the router and it can now detect the firmware upgrade.

  • Hi got a chat with the support team of TELSTRA and they confirm than it is a netgear server who push the OTA update for TELSTRA version of firmware so please netgear team, reactive the newest firmware you have for telstra user.

    Wath is the number and other information like PRI bootloader of the newest firmaware telstra version. Could you put it online.

    I know there is a soon new version by up the end of april but.... there to long time i need OTA update so please for considere a little bit more your client and put online OTA.

    I know you work well and thanks for this but you client need OTA access right now!!! apolygie

      Hi MAGADE

      The latest PRI version is 03.21, the latest firmware is NTG9X50C_10.25.01.00 on the Telstra network.

      Its not a matter of reactivating,I believe OTA is still active and running,but something is causing  a bug that needs to be fixed in the system somewhere and except for that bug the system should be delivering the updates. From what I have read it is just a matter of being patient right now until the latest firmware is released, it would be dreadful to release something before it is ready and cause more problems.Also consider the fact that both Netgear and Telstra need to co-ordinate the delivery, does make it impossible for Netgear to make a unilateral decison about releasing anything early.
