Nighthawk MR1100-1TLAUS Firmware Upgrade

Good afternoon ,

I just did a factory reset on my Nighthawk MR1100-1TLAUS.

I am trying to upgrade the firmware to the lastest version

( MR1100-1TLAUS_23113199_NTG9x50C_12.06.02.00_00_TELSTRA_04.04.secc.spk )

I use the check for upgrades it doesn't return any updates and I have also down loaded the above mentioned file and it also fails the manual update process with an error ( Invalid Update File: Error Code 16 )

 

Would any one be able to point me in the right direction to solve this issue.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi everyone,

     

    I recently got a Netgear Nighthawk M1 (Model: MR1100-1TLAUS - Telstra) from a friend. I am looking for a solution to manually update the firmware, as the OTA function is not picking up the latest version.

     

    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.

     

    The Issue: Since I cannot update via the WebUI

     

    My Question: Has anyone successfully updated a Telstra unit from version 10.25.01.00 directly to 12.06.08.00? I have tried manually updated via WebUI but it showed error 16

     

    Any guidance on the correct procedure to force this update would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks!

      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.

    Hi

    I have exactly the same problem with firmware upgrades on my MR1100-1TLAUS. MR1100-1TLAUS_04.01.73.00

    build 9TG9X50C_12.06.02.00

    The check for updates fails to retrieve any later revisions of the firmware.

    When I try and manually install Firmware MR1100-1TLAUS_23113199_NTG9x50C_10.25.01.01_00_TELSTRA_03.22.secc I get the message Invalid update file error code 16.

    I Also tried Version 12.06.05.00 where I receive a message - invalid update file. this update is not intended for this product. (MR1100-100NAS_23113828_NTG9x50C_12.05.05.00_00_GenericNA_01.02.secc)

    The same with  Firmware Version 12.06.11.00 (MR1100-100EUS_23113509_NTG9x50C_12.06.11.00_00_Generic_10.03.secc)


    Has anyone resolved this issue. I am sure there are important security patches in the later firmware versions

    Thanks

    Peter

    Please check the FW version on your device. Your device may be on the latest release already.

    Latest release:

    FW:12.06.08.00; PRI 05.05.

     

    Thanks

      Is there a miss listed source for this Mr1100 1tlaus version on the netgear GPL release ?

      Currently, there are 2 files, one for pri 04.04 and other for 05.05
      However, both are identical , point to 1 file of downloaded.
      Furthermore, the releases on GPL is 12.06.02.00, this is way different than what stated for pri 05.05

      Could you please check sir
