Firmware cannot be updated on RAX45
My RAX45 router is running firmware is v1.0.11.112. The Netgear prompts to update the firmware to v1.0.12.120. First, I used the Firmware Update Assistant. The process was stuck in the middle, the web page showed to wait to complete forever (over an hour). Surely during this period of time, there was no WiFi no internet during this period of time. Then I shut down the router and restarted it. The connection was recovered but firmware was still v1.0.11.112.
Later, I tried to manually update the firmware by downloading the firmware file to my computer, then uploading the firmware file through Advanced/Administration/Router Update page. Again, the process is stuck, no error message, no nothing. Surely, no wifi, no internet. I checked the router status LED. All the LED lights were lit green except that for internet. It was off. I had to shut down and restarted. Like the previous situation, the firmware was not updated, still v1.0.11.112.
What can I do to make firmware update work? Why does it not work?

One can skip over FW version and go directly to v.128.
Not much use if it is the update process that is failing.
But that was why I first suggested it.
