Can't update software for WiFi adapter
I have an AC1900 A7000 Wifi USB adapter. Periodically, I get a notification that there is a software upgrade to install.When I try to do so, I get a message that "Downloaded file failed integrity che...
Seems to be the same problem that has unanswered questions here about what us going on:
Can't download updates through Genie - NETGEAR Communities
I copied the query that I posted to Nighthawk WiFi Routers to this forum because a user indicated that I had posted in the wrong forum.
That user asked what genie I was using. I was using Genie version 1.0.0.11 via the Windows desktop app. That user also asked what I was doing when I got this message:"Downloaded file failed integrity check. The CD version of the software will be installed instead." I was trying to download an updated version of the Netware adapter software.
I tried downloading what I think is updated software from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/A7000.aspx#Software%20Version%201.0.0.15%20(Windows) However, the zip file available from that page contains 2 files: A7000_Windows_1.0.0.15.exe and A7000_Windows_Standalone_V1.0.0.15.exe . It's unclear which I should use. Does anyone know? The accompanying notes say:
Software release version: v1.0.0.15
Standalone software release version v1.0.0.15- Win 7/8/10 32/64 bits driver version: 1030.25.0701.2017
- Windows 7/8/10 32/64 bit genie utility version: 1.0.0.15
but I don't know how to interpret that.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hi RJL-web
Kindly download and install the latest driver version A7000 Software Version 1.0.0.15 (Windows)
You can just install the standalone driver (without NETGEAR Genie).
