SXR80 Series Firmware Version v4.0.0.118
Hello, I received an email on 3/9/2022 alerting me to a firmware update for my SXR80 router and SXS80 satellite. I went to this page and downloaded the update package. https://www.netgear.com/su...

Using the Insight app worked. It updated both the router and the satelite. Last time I tried this method it failed. I think it was a timeout issue relating to the download? Not sure.
If I log back into the router it does show the new firmware as being installed.
I prefer the web interface to the router over the app. Not sure why that didn't work?
Thanks for pitching in.

The default login credentials don't work. Neither does the router credentials.
I rebooted the router and now I can't login with any credentials.
I switched to the Insight app on my iPhone and that detects a firmware update so I'm trying that. That process turned into a mess last time I tried it. Let's see what happens. I'll report back.
