    A better option is to visit the support pages and to download any updates from there.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.

     

    The latest update was four years ago:

     

    A7000 Software Version 1.0.0.15 (Windows) | Answer | NETGEAR Support

      Im not looking software, your link is for genie software 🙂 Within genie software you should be able to update firmware..

      I dont see any other way to update usb stick since it does not have its own web frontend or ui...
