firmwear upgrade for 582384
I started the process for the upgrade and walked away from my computer. I am not sure if the upgrade happened. Where can I check this and what version would be indicated? Thank you.

What router model do you have?

What router model do you have?
Thank you for the link. I still have my original question. My model number is R7300.
It is hard to know what the original question was.
Let me rephrase it. Are you asking:
Is there a firmware update for the R7300?
If that is your question, then the answer is:
- Follow the link that StephenB posted (see above or go here Security Advisory for CVE-2016-6277, PSV-2016-0245)
- Read the page you land on
- Look at the list of devices for which there is new firmware
You can also look at the manual for your device and read the bit about firmware upgrades.
The manual is here:
R7300DST | Product | Support | NETGEAR
See page 178.
You will see that the router will tell you if there is an upgrade.
Thank you for your reply. I have the software and ran the update. I walked away from my computer and want to make sure it successfully applied. How can I tell?
