None of my port forwarding works now
Unfortunately I was up early yesterday. Downloaded the 12.1.8.7 and updated my firmware before it was pulled. None of my port forwarding works now. I've tried rebooting and removing and re-adding the...
Doing a factory reset got my port forward working again. Hoping there are no other issues or stability issues using this unreleased version. If so I would like to request the transition firmware to keep it handy.
How can I downgrade?
You are correct that the accidental release of version 12 for the 970 system has caused a lot of confusion and frustration. The process to revert to a previous firmware version is:
- Download the previous version from the support web site:
https://kb.netgear.com/000070347/ - Extract the disk images from the router and satellite zip files.
- Connect to each of the satellites using the satellite IP address. Log in using the web administration credentials.
- Select "Firmware Update" from the menu.
- Locate the satellite firmware image and upload it.
- Repeat with every satellite.
- Finally, connect to the router and navigate to Firmware Update... Manual Update.
- Locate the router image and upload.
- After the system reboots, the router and satellites should be on the same version.
This doesn't work for v12 back to v9. There is a transition FW needed.
