RAX80 firmware
Having an issue checking for firmware update via the app. appears I am at version 1.0.10.140 app keeps returning “problem checking firmware update.” any help is appreciate. ...
Well, I may have solved it via sheer aggravation. Haha
rather than signing in via the terrible app, I signed in via IP on my laptop
went to the net gear site and saw update (1.0.11.148), which I downloaded. Router admin prompt did not self find the update but did apply the download manually
Not sure why self update didn’t work.
Users can manually update the router which is recommended and I prefer doing.
If there is FW available, manually download the file and unpack the zip file and load it using the routers web page:

Good Luck.

Thank you both. And thanks for the “marked” info
Sometimes NG doesn't put up newer FW for auto update for some older routers. So manually updating is a good thing.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. 📡
