I just received this Firmware notifcation as well. I don't run Funjsq or any type of download accelerator software on my computer so I went ahead with the update. I manually downloaded the firmware file from the Netgear support pages, and after logging into the router, I went to the Advanced tab and then the Administration > Router Status menu option and clicked the Rebbot button to reboot the router. After rebooting, and logging back in, I went to the Administration > Firmware Update option and manually selected the .img file that I extracted from the Firmware zip file that I downloaded, and then uploaded the file.

 

The Firmware update proceeded without any issues. It took a few minutes to update, but once it was done the router rebooted again and it waas back up and running without any issues.

    Many thanks for your helpful info AHortin. I've now downloaded the update and will do the same as you. Please can I ask you to post back in a few days with an update? Hopefully, you will have no issues to report! I will do the same after I've upgraded manually to v1.1.0.76.
