Hi - thanks for the response
I managed to log onto Netgear as per Release Notes Step 3, I then browsed file, located and pressed upload - at this point the browser just disappears - no loading bar or anything.
I've then cleared the cache as per release notes and logged back onto NetGear software and it's still the old version......

Just in case ... the history of attemting to mount the img file does indicate a Mac user ... try a different browser than Safari, something like Chrome or Firefox.

Start a try with IE in this case.

Does that mean you are a Mac user?
schumaku is right. img files throw Macs into a tizzy.
My Powerline kit is old and doesn't do updates in the same way. Does your browser interface offer the ability to look for new firmware automatically?
Unfortunately, the Powerline manuals are hopeless.

The OP clarified he is on Windows and has tried Edge. We know a lot of older devices Web UI code is done lazy an/or does use strange code, this I've suggested to try IE.
