Lb2120 firmware update failure
It won't update. Reset it a bunch. Rebooted. Doesn't work. How do you get this thing to update? Testing this device since my mr1100 has been an absolute nightmare hell. Any easy fix?
Solved. You have to be in BRIDGE MODE to update this router.
This kind of thing needs to be in the manual, guys. You can't expect everyone to figure this out for themselves. :smileymad:
It doesnt want to update the firmware neither in Bridge nor router mode there is a BUG in the firmware upgrade package it gets to 52% or 54% and it freezes there PLEASE FIX!!!
Seems Netgear have really stuffed this model. While I managed to update over the WAN port on a fast 100mbit link, and once over LTE (after about 20 attempts with reboot each time) it seems many people havn't been able to.
Much worse issue is that they offer no way to download the firmware to a PC and update via the web interface, so even if a new firmware is provided, many people will have no way to apply it.
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone still have the issue of updating the firmware? Please PM me and I will work with you. Thank you. :]

Jason;
I am ready to purchase a Netgear LB-1120. My application will require proper functionality of the bridge mode feature. I have been following the realted blog/support/Netgear forum threads for several weeks. There have obviously been some firmware upgrades that correct the problems of bridge mode operation which was evidently problematic in the earlier versions of the LB-1120 shipments. TWO related questions;
1.What is the current version of firmware that is shipping with the LB-1120?
2.Is that version available on new shipments as of a particular date i.e., October ##, 2017? or some other date and how do I I.D. the proper serial sequence, etc?. BOTTOM LINE: If possible I would like to avoid having to perform a software update on a new unit if polssible! Please advise. THANKS, Stan
Tried today in bridge and router and both cases the firmware update stopped at 52% on my LB2120
Hi Brookeville,
As for the LB1120. The firmware depends on when the device was manufactured. The LB1120 will notify you when there is a new firmware to upgrade to. You have the choice of approving or denying it the first few times. Eventually it will just upgrade to the new firmware on its own. As for the security updates, those will auto update.
Hi Holsteinson,
I will PM you now to collect some information from you.
