Device updates

Why doesn’t NETGEAR routers save device (cell phones, pads, desktops) updates so they don’t have to be downloaded multiple times?

  • No storage space for one, and something that is device specific, not router specific. All that's up to the devices mfrs on how they handle updates. Something to discuss with them. 

  • Routers like NETGEAR don't usually handle device updates directly. It's more about your device settings and network stability. Check if your devices are set to auto download updates and ensure your network connection is solid. If issues persist, reach out to NETGEAR support for help.
