Device Details:

 

Current Firmware: NTG9X50C_10.25.01.00

Netgear Initial Firmware: NTG9X50C_10.25.01.01

Target Firmware: I want to upgrade to the latest version NTG9x50C_12.06.08.00.

I see a link in this post you could try:

A bit older than you are looking for.  But Netgear normally doesn't provide links for carrier-specific products.  You could try reaching out to Telstra.

      It works when I test it.

       

      But I did need to open it in a new window, and then hit enter.  Then select download from Chrome.  Chrome says it is insecure, so I then needed to select "keep".
