XR700 Plex update 1.19.5.3112-b23ab3896

Does anyone know why the XR700 is not updating to the latest plex version.

 

The router says a new version is available. pressing the install now button does not work, say "unknow error" after clicking on and it remains on version1.18.01913-e5cc93306 Jul 16, 2019

 

I also tried selecting the Auto update and letting it sit a few days. It's supposed to auto update at 3am but that also didn't happen.

 

The new version it says is available is Plex Version 1.19.5.3112-b23ab3896 Sep 29, 2020

 

The XR700 router is running on the latest Firmware version V1.0.1.34.

  • I'm having the same problem but my plex option is completely grayed out and it says my current version is none? So I have lost it completely. Netgear really needs to do something because this is ridiculous. When someone buys their expensive products you expect them to work and they suppose to have support that actually helps you.

      I have let our team know about this to pass on to NG, we didn't include any changes that I am aware of in this update but we'll get to the bottom of it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      grayed-out means there is no USB HDD attached. you may need to recheck the USB connection again.

      I havce the same issue. Cant install it back on the router. Tried rolling the firmware back to .20 and it still wouldnt install. It's the main reason I bought the router.
