Hello. The firmware upgrade version in the downloaded ZIP file is incorrect. It is XR450 V2.3.2.134 -- NOT
XR450 V2.3.2.136 as it should be. - FURRYe38Guru - Experienced User
Did you load this version your XR450 to check to see actual FW version on the routers web page?

Both XR450 firmware V2.3.2.134 and
V2.3.2.136 are exactly the same size: 36.7 MB (38,529,153 bytes).That likely would not be the case if they were different.
I got the v...136 zip file from the router's page on Netgear's website.
The router indicated it was v...134.

Thank you for confirming that. I've passed this on to NG. Hoping they can resolve it soon.
