MR1100-100EUS - difference between firmware version

When i'm connecting to the web administration interface, the firmware version installed is « 12.04.02.00 » (see attached files) .When i'm trying to look for an update firmware, it's saying my f...
Hi Francois,
I have your same device and same problem with automatic update check: it doesn't work so I update manually.
2. Unpack the executable with unrar (it is a RAR SFX archive)
3. You will find 2 files: a windows executable and the firmware
4. Rename the fw file: MR1100-100EUS_23113509_NTG9x50C_12.06.01.00_00_Generic_05.01.secc.cwe to MR1100-100EUS_23113509_NTG9x50C_12.06.01.00_00_Generic_05.01.secc.cwe.spk
5. From the web gui of the router, update manually by pointing at the renamed file.
6. It will reboot 2-3 times at least, it took longer than previous updates, be patient and wait, you can monitor the progress on the router's display.
7 Enjoy and let me know if it worked. :)
Cheers,
Alessandro
Hi Kudos,
Thanks for your answer. According to your answer it's available for windows and i'm using a linux distribution.
But my first problem is why the web administrative interface doesn't detect there's a more recent firmware version available (see attached file) ? Is it a bug ?
My second problem is the firmware version proposed at the netgear dowload center is it applicable to my router ? Is there a reversible way if I install a non compatible version of the firmware (reinstalling the previous one by having copying it) ?
My third problem is there an other way to update the firmware than connecting by USB cable to a windows PC ?
Regards,
François
