Netgear Nightawk XR700 Plex Server Update required

My Netgear Nightawk XR700 requires an update to Plex Server version 1.16.1 or newer. Currently Stuck on Version 1.14.1.5488. When will there be an update?

    Just checking in

    Well its been 2 months now without being able to use Live TV without the Required  update to the xr700 plex server and no response from netgear.

    This is very frustrating.  Is it actually part of a firmware update? 

    Thank you

    Gary

      I've asked my colleague who has asked Netgear to post here directly when they have an idea. I believe when you disable Plex then enable and apply it redownloads Plex so may be possible without a firmware update though I can't say 100%. Try this as well if you haven't already as possible its already been updated.

        Unfortunately I have tried that several times and it does not update.

        I suspect that it may require a firmware update see below from the 1.0.1.8 update:
